Explore culturally rich Marathi names that add heritage, character, and authenticity to your stories and creative worlds.
Marathi given names come from a wide range of sources. They can be drawn from religious beliefs, mythology, and literature. They can also be inspired by the natural world, precious items, and virtues.
As well as given names being chosen for their meaning or based on the parents’ preference, they are also sometimes chosen for their astrological significance.
Marathi surnames often come from the family’s ancestral village—a common form is adding the suffix -kar (showing belonging) to the village’s name. Surnames can also derive from trades and clans.
Many Marathi names follow the custom of including a patronymic element, with people using their father’s given name as a middle name, though people can choose not to include this.
Its worth being mindful that Marathi naming practices can reflect caste structures. Given that this is a complex and sensitive topic, it might be wise to do further research.
Here are examples inspired by traditional and modern Marathi naming conventions:
Aditya Kulkarni
Snehal Deshmukh
Rohit Patil
Pallavi Joshi
Nikhil Jadhav
Manasi Shinde
Siddharth Chavan
