Other Hindu unisex names, common in Tamil 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

Zihan

Child of depth, cultured offspring — combining zi (child, seed) with han (contain, encompass, cultured).

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
