Gujarati Name Generator
Gujarati full names, respectful forms and surnames
Generate Gujarati names the way they are carried in Gujarat and abroad: full names such as Hetal Ghelani, Jignesh Savaliya and Kartik Jagdish Modi, respectful forms like Girishbhai Rughani and Kokilaben Darji, and last names standing alone. The list holds 500 names, with Jain, Bohra, Khoja, Memon and Parsi names each kept with their own surnames.
About Gujarati names
A Gujarati full name has three parts: the given name, the father's given name and the family name, as in Kartik Jagdish Modi. A married woman traditionally uses her husband's given name in the middle. Everyday use trims this to the first and last parts, so most entries here have two parts and some have all three.
Respect is built into the name. The endings -bhai (brother) and -ben (sister) are added to given names and often stay on documents, as in Girishbhai and Kokilaben. Older men's names often end in -lal, -kumar or -chandra (Jayantilal, Hiteshkumar), and -sinh, the Gujarati spelling of Singh, closes names such as Kuldipsinh. Younger Gujaratis mostly carry short names like Hardik, Jignesh, Hetal and Foram.
Patel is the best known Gujarati last name, and Shah, Desai, Mehta, Joshi and Trivedi are also very common. Surnames ending in -iya, such as Vekariya and Savaliya, are typical of Saurashtra, and -wala names record a trade or a home town. Given names stay with the surnames of their own community: Jain families (Gala, Dedhia, Chheda), Bohra, Khoja and Memon Muslims (Lokhandwala, Lalani, Bawany) and Parsis, whose Persian given names go with surnames such as Daruwala, Bharucha and Batliwala. Ninety entries are last names standing alone.
How to choose Gujarati names
- Use all three parts for documents, school records and wedding cards. Brothers and sisters share the middle name and the surname, as Nikita Govind Patel and a brother of hers would.
- Let the form show the generation. Jayantilal or Hiteshkumar suits a grandfather, Girishbhai or Kokilaben an elder being addressed with respect, and a short name such as Hardik or Hetal someone born after 1980.
- Keep a given name with its own community's surnames. Murtaza belongs with Bootwala and Khorshed with Dubash, so pick a whole entry instead of swapping halves between entries.
- For a character raised in Britain, East Africa or the United States, drop the middle name and the -bhai or -ben, which are mostly used at home and inside the community.
- Common pairings belong to many living people. Before you publish a name on a character or a project, search the full name yourself.
Frequently asked questions
What are common Gujarati last names?
Patel, Shah, Desai, Mehta, Joshi, Trivedi, Pandya, Parekh, Thakkar, Solanki, Jadeja and Vaghela are among the most familiar. The list has ninety last names standing alone, from Patel and Savani to Lokhandwala and Bharucha. The rest appear in full names such as Swati Patel, Devang Shah, Mittal Desai and Tapan Joshi.
What do -bhai and -ben mean in Gujarati names?
Bhai means brother and ben means sister. Gujaratis add them to a given name as a mark of respect, and many people have the longer form on their papers, which is why the list has entries such as Girishbhai Rughani, Bhartiben Patel and Kokilaben Darji. The same person may be plain Girish to friends of the same age.
Does the list include Jain, Muslim and Parsi Gujarati names?
Yes. Jain entries include Jigisha Gada and Talakchand Chheda, the Bohra, Khoja and Memon entries include Hatim Dahodwala, Nizar Surani and Faruk Bawany, and Parsi entries include Khorshed Dubash and Darius Lakdawala. Each given name is paired only with surnames used in its own community.
Are these the names of real people?
No entry is meant to name a particular person. Every given name and surname here is in real use among Gujaratis, the list was drafted by combining them, and we tried to leave out the names of well-known public figures. Names this common are shared by many living people, so treat any match as a coincidence.
