High in the Himalayas, Tibetan baby names are often associated with Buddhism and the region’s awe-inspiring mountainscapes. Monastic traditions, intricate astrology, and deep spiritual practices all inform these choices. Families might select names reflecting compassion, wisdom, or devotion, such as Tenzin (upholder of teachings). Embracing Tibetan naming customs connects a child to an ancient culture that values introspection, kindness, and harmony with nature.
