Hindi is one of the official languages of India. It is deeply rooted in the rich history of the country. Hence, it is no surprise that Hindi baby boy names are used widely and cover a wide range of categories from mythology, history, literature, and religion. The Hindi language has also embraced the changes in modern times and the new names that come with them.

Hinduism has traditionally influenced Hindi baby names though several other religions in India have their own influences. These names are usually dedicated to the various gods and goddesses of Hindu mythology. They may be alternative names for these divine figures, or they can be their characteristics, qualities, or virtues. For instance, Krishna, Rama, Shiva, and Vishnu are names of gods and are commonly used for boys.

Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, has greatly influenced Hindi names. These Sanskrit-inspired names have beautiful meanings and are timeless. Such names also depict the rich cultural heritage of this country. Another great influence on Hindi baby boy names is that of historical figures.
