About Punarvasu Nakshatra Names
Names beginning with the syllables "Ke, Ko, Ha, Hi" (one per pada) are traditionally assigned to children born under Punarvasu (పునర్వసు) Nakshatra in the Telugu/Andhra naming tradition. The pada (quarter) of the nakshatra at the moment of birth determines which specific syllable applies — Kesari belongs to Pada 1 (syllable "Ke").
