About Ashlesha Nakshatra Names
Names beginning with the syllables "Di, Du, De, Do" (one per pada) are traditionally assigned to children born under Ashlesha (ఆశ్లేష) Nakshatra in the Telugu/Andhra naming tradition. The pada (quarter) of the nakshatra at the moment of birth determines which specific syllable applies — Dhruv belongs to Pada 2 (syllable "Du").
