Character Trait Baby Names

The Indian tradition recognises that character is built through practice rather than merely inherited — the Bhagavad Gita’s teaching of Nishkama Karma (action without attachment to results) is itself a character-building practice. A name that carries a character quality is both a description of what the parents see in their child and a gentle, lifelong encouragement toward that quality. Dhruv (the steadfast one — named after the pole star that never moves) carries both the astronomical fact of Dhruva’s constancy and the mythological story of the young boy whose absolute devotion to Vishnu earned him the most stable position in the cosmos.
