Malayalam naming traditions

In Kerala the naming (noolukettu or peridal) is often on the 28th day. Hindu families match the first letter to the birth star; Syrian Christian families use Biblical names in Malayali forms (Varghese, Mathai, Eliamma); Muslim families use Arabic names with Malayalam spellings.
