Tamil Baby Names Starting with A (அ)

The letter A (அ) holds a special place in Tamil culture. It is the first letter of the Tamil alphabet (உயிர் எழுத்து) and is considered highly auspicious. Tamil Thirukkural, the ancient ethical scripture, begins with the letter அ — 'அகர முதல எழுத்தெல்லாம் ஆதி பகவன் முதற்றே உலகு' (As all letters begin with A, so does the world begin with God). For this reason, many Tamil families actively seek names starting with A, especially when the baby's nakshatra recommends it. Names starting with A include some of the most beloved Tamil names — Arun (sun), Anitha (grace), Arul (divine grace), and many more. Whether you want a traditional or modern name, the letter A offers abundant beautiful choices.
