Asalesha Nakshatram

Ashlesha is the name of a daughter of Prajapati Daksha; she is one of the wives of Chandra. She is personified as a Nakshatra, and is best known as that, especially in south Indian astrology: Jyotisha.

Under the traditional Hindu principle of naming individuals according to their birthstar, the following Sanskrit syllables correspond with this Nakshatra, and would belong at the beginning of a first name:

Di (pronounced as in "independant")

Du (pronounced as in "hindu")

De (pronounced as in "Saturday")

Do (pronounced as in "do re mi")
