During the 20th century some names were created by joining two or more syllables. For example, Abey (AB), Aji (AG), Bibi (BB), Biji (BG), Siby (CB) and so on. Today, several Syrian Christians name their children with popular Indian names like Deepak, Rahul, Neethu, Asha etc. But by the 21st century more biblical names began to reappear.
Nowadays Hindu names like Sandeep, Rahul and Anita, etc. are also given. Portuguese names like António, João, Maria, Ana are also common among Goan Catholics who follow Portuguese culture. British names (e.g. Kevin, Shelley) and other European names (e.g. Benito, Heidi), which have no Konkani variants, are also popular.
Kamala is a Sanskrit word meaning 'lotus'. [1] [2] It is used as a feminine given name in Indian culture, predominantly by Hindu families, as it is one of the names of the goddess Lakshmi, who appears from the centre of a lotus.
The name derives ultimately from Sanskrit Sindhu, which was the name of the Indus River as well as the lower Indus basin (modern Sindh, in Pakistan). [6] [7] The Old Persian equivalent of Síndhu was Hindu. [8] Darius I conquered Sindh in about 516 BCE, upon which the Persian equivalent Hinduš was used for the province at the lower Indus basin.
