Arjun in astrology: rashi and nakshatra
Families who follow the naam akshar choose a name that starts with the syllable of the baby’s birth nakshatra. Arjun starts with अ (A), the syllable of Krittika pada 1, which falls in Mesha rashi (Aries), ruled by Mars.
So Arjun is a traditional fit for a boy born when the Moon was in Krittika pada 1, and many families also accept it for any Mesha rashi baby.
