Indian girl names that work in English

I’ve always loved the name Priya but have no Indian roots to connect it to! Aliya, Celina, Ananya and Samita are some of the beautiful names that my Indian colleagues have and I just adore!

I know a sunita and seema, both beautiful names 🥰

I love the name Amaya which I believe means night rain which is quite beautiful! Darika, Mira, Nyra and Ishya are all really pretty too!

I have heard of quite q few white british babies being called Priya lately. I also like amina, mirai (miracle) , milana (union) , Rhea and raina

I have taught an Arya and a Jia and they were both very easy to pronounce

I know it's super common but I love Jasleen.

I named me daughter India, I loved Priya & Ashni but have no Indian roots! I just really love the cultural names😍x

I love the name Nila

My niece is Mahalakshmi. We all just call her Mahala. It’s the goddess of prosperity I believe.

I also like the name Tara. It means star in Indian.
And Aarya which means respectful and noble one.

I had a few colleagues named Divya and I think it's pretty. I like Priya and Amaya mentioned above too. English speakers seem to only have trouble with really long names, for the most part.
