Gender neutral Nepali names and what they mean

These 556 unisex Nepali names are given to both boys and girls. We list a name here when at least 20% of the people with that name in our sample are of the other gender. Each name page shows its meaning, Devanagari spelling and pronunciation, so you can choose a name that suits any child.

  1. 556 shared names

    Every name on this list is used for both sons and daughters in our sample, from short nature names to names linked to deities.

  2. A clear rule

    A name counts as unisex when at least 20% of its bearers in our sample are of the other gender, so the list reflects real use.

  3. Meanings that fit anyone

    Tara means star, Madhu means honey, and Ananta means infinite or eternal. These meanings feel just as right for a boy as for a girl.

Nepali names for both boys and girls from nature

Nature gives many shared names their charm. Puspa and Pushpa both mean flower or blossom. Shirish is the flower of the Shirish tree. Ganga is the sacred river Ganges, personified as a goddess, and Tara means star. Madhu means honey and also the spring season. You can compare these with names in our Nepali boy names and Nepali girl names lists, or search every theme in Nepali names by meaning.

Unisex names about wealth, light and the divine

Several gender neutral Nepali names carry wishes for a good life. Laxmi is the goddess of wealth, fortune and prosperity. Dhan means wealth or riches, and Kanchan means gold, precious and pure. Sonu is an affectionate name meaning golden or dear one. Divya means divine and radiant, Gauri is a name of goddess Parvati, and Durga is the invincible divine mother. Names are shared across communities, so a name does not reveal anyone's background.

How to choose

  • Read the full meaning, since some unisex names also carry a link to a deity.
  • Say the name with your family name to hear how it sounds for your child.
  • Pick one English spelling, such as Puspa or Pushpa, and use it on every document.
  • Check the Devanagari spelling so relatives write the name the same way.
