Ardra
Meaning of Ardra
Ardra is a Sanskrit jewel, one of the 27 Nakshatras—lunar mansions—whose name means “moist” or “gentle rain.” Pronounced AR-druh, it evokes cleansing monsoon showers that wash the world anew. In Indian lore Ardra is guided by Rudra, an aspect of Shiva, symbolizing transformation through healing tears—tears that water the soul and spark fresh beginnings. Though it’s a hidden treasure on US charts, bobbing in and out of the top 800 since the 1940s, its quiet rarity only adds sparkle. For parents seeking an ancient, star-lit name with a playful breeze, Ardra dances straight from myth into modern hearts.
