## What is NameRoot?

Every name carries a story. NameRoot helps you find your baby's.

Most baby-name apps hand you an endless A–Z list. NameRoot is different: it scores every name across 6 signals against your own family — so you see not just a name, but why it fits.

THE 6 SIGNALS
• Birth Star — nakshatra & rashi alignment (when you add a birth date) and syllable match.
• Numerology — destiny-number harmony
• Sound — how the name flows with your name and siblings if any
• Meaning — the story and values behind it and how it matches your names
• Cultural & Tradition — heritage and faith fit, rooted in your exact heritage
• Uniqueness — the sweet spot between familiar and rare

BUILT FOR YOUR FAMILY
• 60+ heritage-aware name sets — Indian, Arab, European, East Asian, African, Latino and more
• Faith-aware — Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Zoroastrian and secular
• A clear score breakdown for every name, so the "why" is never a mystery
• Quranic names for Muslims, Patron Saints for Christians, Nakshtra aligned names for Hindus

MAKE IT A KEEPSAKE
• AI baby-portrait previews matched to your heritage (with your consent)
• Naming-ceremony invites, a printable "Letter to Baby", and celebration cards
• Decide together — pair with your partner, share a shortlist, and celebrate the moment you both love the same name

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your names and preferences are yours. Personalization is opt-in, you can withdraw consent anytime, and you can delete your account and all your data from inside the app. No ads. No spam.

PREMIUM — ONE-TIME PURCHASE
Unlock unlimited scoring, full breakdowns, AI portraits, and keepsakes with a single purchase. It is NOT a subscription — pay once, yours forever, restore anytime on a new device.

Start discovering the name you'll keep forever.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.6.4 — 2026-09-08

1. Premium now costs less. It is still a one-time purchase — pay once, yours
   forever, no subscription.
2. 29 new names, chosen by finding the traditions we were thin on rather than
   the names everyone already lists — Welsh, Irish, Basque, Catalan, Yoruba,
   Igbo, Swahili, Norwegian, and a few from Japan, Vietnam and the
   Philippines. Every meaning is a real etymology, and where scholars disagree
   we say so instead of picking a side.
3. Sound matching is more accurate. Around 1,200 names — many of them Bengali,
   Persian and other non-English traditions — had incomplete pronunciation
   data, so how well they rhymed and flowed with your family's names was being
   judged on half the evidence. They are now read properly.
4. When you choose the name, the celebration carries on. From the share screen
   you can go straight to planning the naming ceremony or making a keepsake,
   instead of being sent back to the deck

### 1.6.2 — 2026-07-04

1. Family Vote. Share a private link and let grandparents, cousins and friends vote on your shortlist — watch the results come in live, then celebrate the winner together
2.Beautiful announcement cards. Reveal your baby's name with photo share cards made for WhatsApp and Instagram.
3. A fresh new app icon.
4. Performance improvements and bug fixes.

### 1.6.1 — 2026-06-15

• Fixed a rare crash that could happen right after updating.
• Smoother, instant name portraits — no more flicker.
• More natural name pronunciation.
• New names added across few traditions.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-06-12

No release notes.
