In Hindu astrology, {{IAST|Kṛttikā}} is the third of the 27 {{IAST|[[nakṣatra]]}}s. It is ruled by Sun.
Under the traditional Hindu principle of naming individuals according to their Ascendant/Lagna {{IAST|nakṣatra}}, the following [[Sanskrit]] syllables correspond with this {{IAST|nakṣatra}}, and would belong at the beginning of the first name of an individual born under it: A (अ), I (ई), U (उ) and E (ए).
