What's Ezhil's birth star?

In Vedic tradition, a baby's name is matched to their nakshatra (birth star) and rashi (moon sign) — usually through its first syllable. Ezhil opens with “Ez.” But whether that's auspicious depends on your baby's exact date, time, and place of birth.

Other Hindu unisex names, common in Indian families

Arya
Noble, honourable, one of high birth and higher conduct — Arya is among the oldest words in the Sanskrit vocabulary, used in the Vedas to denote those who live by dharma. It transcends gender entirely, bestowing upon any child the aspiration toward moral excellence, dignified speech, and a life guided by principle rather than circumstance
Shanti
Peace, the deep stillness that settles when all conflict has dissolved — Shanti is the word chanted three times at the close of every Upanishadic reading, each repetition calming a different source of suffering
Karma
The great law of action and consequence — Karma names a child as one living within the moral physics of the universe, where every intention sent into the world returns transformed. In Tibetan Buddhism Karma is itself a given name, not a burden but a reminder: that each of us is the sum of choices and each choice shapes the next. Ancient in Tibet, it carries a lightness Western understanding sometimes forgets — karma is creative, not merely punitive
Ahimsa
Non-violence, the supreme ethical principle that forms the bedrock of Jain philosophy — Ahimsa is the commitment to cause no harm to any living being through thought, word, or deed, extended to the smallest insect and the most invisible organism. As a name it declares a child as an ambassador of peace, a living reminder that the most radical act in a violent world is the refusal to participate in causing suffering

Other Hindu unisex names from the Beauty cluster

Azhaku
Beauty, elegance, visible grace, from the Tamil azhagu (beauty, loveliness). Used as a unisex value-name with unmistakably Tamil identity, it gives the bearer beauty itself, the charm and pleasing grace that delights the eye and gladdens those who behold it.
Charu
Beautiful, charming, the aesthetic quality that delights without overwhelming — Charu is the Sanskrit word for a beauty that is graceful rather than dramatic, the kind that grows on the observer with each encounter. Used freely across genders in India, it carries the poetic ideal of quiet attractiveness, the charm that lingers in memory long after more spectacular sights have been forgotten, and the Kalidasa conviction that the most lasting beauty is the most understated
