Notes
- Digambar vs. Shwetambar: many names above are shared across traditions, but some have stronger traditional ties to one sect or the other. If you want a name that aligns with a specific tradition, tell me and I’ll tailor the list.
- Uniqueness: some of these names are classic Jain names, while others are less common in day-to-day use; I can help mix in modern-sounding variants that retain Jain meaning if you’d like.
If you want, I can shortlist a personalized set based on meaning you prefer (peace, virtue, strength, compassion) or provide pronunciation guides.
