  2. Light and lotus

K and Kh, and the spellings to watch

Two Devanagari letters sit behind this group. Kailash (कैलाश), the sacred mountain, begins with क. Khagendra (खगेन्द्र) means lord of birds, and Khem means welfare, safety and well-being; both open with ख. Some names carry more than one English form: Keshav and Keshab share केशव, and Kshitiz and Kshitij share क्षितिज. Browse names starting with Kh for the ख group, and keep the spelling you pick.

Tips for parents

  • Compare Kushal and Kaushal, which both speak of skill and well-being but are written differently.
  • Decide between Keshav and Keshab once, then use the same form on school papers and travel documents.
  • Say the name beside your surname, since a strong K at the start can sound crisp next to a soft family name.
  • Use the name finder if you want to compare K names by meaning rather than by sound.
