There are no names to list for the letter X, and this page says so instead of padding the list with invented names.
X is not a sound of Sanskrit or Hindi, and no standard Indian name begins with it. It occasionally appears as an informal spelling of क्ष, the conjunct written Ksh, which is why the K page holds such names.
Boy names starting with X
No widely used boy names starting with X are listed.
Girl names starting with X

X in the nakshatra table
None of the 108 nakshatra syllables begins with X, so no pada gives this letter as the first sound of a name. The table does not need to be consulted for this letter.
X in the rashi chart
The first-letter chart does not give X a sign of its own. A name beginning with X 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, W and the next letter, Y, return to the letters index, or search every name together in the name finder. For the X 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 X?
The letter X 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 X?
Try the letter K, which holds the names that are sometimes spelled with X. The [K page](/baby-names/letter/k/) lists them with meanings.
↳ Does the letter X appear in the nakshatra table?
No. None of the 108 syllables starts with X, so a family following the naming syllables has no X-sound to use.
↳ Can I still use a spelling with X?
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.
