Ira 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. Ira starts with ई (I), the syllable of Krittika pada 2, which falls in Vrishabha rashi (Taurus), ruled by Venus.
So Ira is a traditional fit for a girl born when the Moon was in Krittika pada 2, and many families also accept it for any Vrishabha rashi baby.
