Nakshatra, pada and rashi

Saumya starts with the syllable So (सो), which the Avakahada chakra gives to Purva Bhadrapada pada 2, in Kumbha (Aquarius) rashi. By tradition it suits a child whose Moon was in that pada at birth.

The fit comes from the name's first sound only; the Moon's nakshatra pada at birth is calculated in the Kundli.
