නාමකරණFerna Namakarana

A Sinhala name studio for choosing a name for a baby or a new business. It suggests new, pronounceable Sinhala names that begin with the letters you choose, keeps only those whose syllable pattern falls in an auspicious Gana, and explains each name's meaning and roots.

Based on research by B.H.S. Nilmini and T.G.I. Fernando.

  • Names generated in your browser by a small Transformer model
  • Rule-based Gana check of every name's syllable weights (Mathra)
  • Optional AI meanings and roots from Sinhala, Pali and Sanskrit
  • Works without an API key in Transformer-only mode
