About male marathi names
How male marathi names are built
A Marathi name joins a gendered given name to a surname from a shared 295-entry pool. The male bank holds 282 forenames and the female bank 256. Male results pair a male given name with a surname (Allwyn Atre, Andre Shah, Ashley Menon) and female results do the same from the female bank (Janhvi Pereira, Kavita Suri).

Naming notes
This is a label set for Maharashtra in western India. Given and surname banks are sampled independently, so any given name can land on any surname in the pool. The surname slot of 295 is close in size to the 282 male and 256 female given banks, so all three cycle at a similar rate.
Questions about male marathi names
- How is a Marathi name structured here?
- Given name plus surname, two words. Men draw from a 282-entry given bank, women from a 256-entry bank, and both share a 295-entry surname pool.
- Can any given name pair with any surname?
- Yes. The given slot and the 295-entry surname slot are sampled independently, so a given name from either gender bank can attach to any surname.
- Can I use these names freely?
- Personal names are facts rather than protected expression, so the pairings are free for characters and worldbuilding set in Maharashtra.
