What is Revati Nakshatra?
Revati (also written as Revathi) is the 27th of 27 nakshatras in the Vedic lunar calendar — the ancient system that divides the zodiac into 27 lunar mansions based on the Moon's daily position. It falls in Meen (Pisces), is symbolised by the Fish; drum, belongs to the Ether element, and is ruled by Mercury.
Revati is the last of the 27 nakshatras, ruled by Mercury and governed by Pushan, the nourishing sun. Revati means "prosperous" — children born under the final star are gentle, nurturing, creative, deeply empathetic, and possess great spiritual richness.
Presiding Deity:Pushan — The nourishing sun god; protector of travelers. In the Vedic naming tradition, a child born under Revati nakshatra is given a name starting with one of the four sacred aksharas — De, Do, Cha, Chi — syllables believed to resonate with Pushan's cosmic energy and reinforce the child's natural traits: gentle, nurturing, empathetic, creative, spiritually rich, generous.

Starting Letters for Revati Nakshatra
Children born under Revati nakshatra should have names starting with De (दे), Do (दो), Cha (चा), Chi (चि). The presiding deity is Pushan and the ruling planet is Mercury. Traits: Gentle, nurturing, empathetic, creative, spiritually rich, generous.
The Namkaran Ceremony
Namkaran (नामकरण) is the Hindu naming ceremony traditionally performed on the 11th or 12th day after birth. A Vedic pandit casts the baby's birth chart, identifies the exact nakshatra and pada the Moon occupied, and prescribes the auspicious akshara. For a Revati nakshatra child, the recommended starting syllables are De, Do, Cha, Chi. The ceremony formalises the name in the presence of family and elders, guided by the child's personal horoscope.

Each nakshatra has 4 padas (quarters of 3°20' each). The akshara above is the auspicious starting sound for each pada. In the Namkaran (baby naming) ceremony, the family pandit will identify the exact pada from the birth chart to recommend the most precise akshara for the child.
What is a Nakshatra Pada?
Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and is divided into 4 padas (quarters of 3°20′ each). The pada the Moon occupies at your baby's exact birth time determines the most precise akshara. For Revati: Pada 1 → De, Pada 2 → Do, Pada 3 → Cha, Pada 4 → Chi. A birth chart with the exact birth time and city gives the correct pada.
About Revati Nakshatra
Expert Insight
“The Revati nakshatra, ruled by Mercury, carries a very specific vibrational signature. In my consultations, children born under this nakshatra consistently show gentle, nurturing, empathetic, creative, spiritually rich, generous. A name starting with the correct akshara reinforces rather than fights these natural tendencies — I have seen this make a measurable difference in the child's early confidence and sense of identity. Per Vishnu Dharmottara Purana and the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, the Namkaran syllable is not tradition for tradition's sake — it is a calculated resonance with the child's natal Moon.”
