There are no names to list for the letter W, and this page says so instead of padding the list with invented names.
W is not a separate sound in Sanskrit or Hindi. Where it appears in an Indian name it is a family spelling of व, which is written V in most standard transliteration, so no names are listed here and the V page has them.

W in the nakshatra table
None of the 108 nakshatra syllables begins with W, so no pada gives this letter as the first sound of a name. The table does not need to be consulted for this letter.
W in the rashi chart
The first-letter chart does not give W a sign of its own. A name beginning with W is placed by the sound it carries, so it appears on the rashi pages under the sound that the spelling stands for.
Move on to the previous letter, V and the next letter, X, return to the letters index, or search every name together in the name finder. For the W names above, the baby names hub has a page for each of the 27 nakshatras, and the free nakshatra calculator works out your baby’s pada from the birth details.
Frequently asked questions
↳ Why are there no baby names starting with W?
The letter W does not stand for a sound of Sanskrit or Hindi in standard spelling, so no genuine Vedic names begin with it. The page does not add invented names to fill the gap.
↳ Where do I look instead of W?
Try the letter V, which holds the names that are sometimes spelled with W. The [V page](/baby-names/letter/v/) lists them with meanings.
↳ Does the letter W appear in the nakshatra table?
No. None of the 108 syllables starts with W, so a family following the naming syllables has no W-sound to use.
↳ Can I still use a spelling with W?
Spelling is a matter for the family. If you keep the sound of the nakshatra syllable, the way the name is written in English can follow your preference.
