Odia naming traditions
Odia families often hold the naming ceremony (namakarana) on the 21st day, and many choose names linked to Lord Jagannath, Odisha's presiding deity. Odia writes names in its own rounded script, and English spellings follow Odia sounds, so Vishwajit becomes Biswajit and Devashish becomes Debasish.
