    Notes (Jain perspective):

    • Many Jain families like names that reflect virtues (e.g., Karuna, Keval, Gyan, Gunita, Kalyan), or are linked with Tirthankars and Acharyas (e.g., Kunthunath, Gautam).
    • There is usually no Digambar–Shvetambar difference in these common name meanings; only slight difference in pronunciation or spelling in some regions.

    If you tell me boy/girl and if you prefer more “purely Jain” names (linked directly to Tirthankars/virtues) or just Jain‑friendly modern names, I can narrow the list further.
