Changing your name to a Jain name is not compulsory for becoming a Jain.

In Jain Dharma, the real change is in inner conduct, not just in the name. What matters most is:

• Samyak Darshan: right faith
• Ahimsa: non-violence
• Satya: truthfulness
• Aparigraha: non-possessiveness
• Self-discipline and pure conduct

If changing your name helps you feel more connected to Jain values, it is a personal choice. But if your current name does not disturb your faith or practice, there is no need to change it.

Many people remain with their given name and live fully as Jains. In Jain tradition, character and observance are more important than the name itself.

So the simple answer is: No, you do not have to change your name. If you wish, you may do so as a personal expression of devotion and identity.
