Krittika nakshatra corresponds to the open star cluster Pleiades in Indian astronomy and Indian astrology. It is ruled by Kartikeya.
Under the traditional Hindu principle of naming individuals according to their birthstar (see Jyotisha), the following Sanskrit syllables correspond with this Nakshatra, and would belong at the beginning of a first name:
A (pronounced as "arbor")
I (pronounced as in "invisible")
U (pronounced as in "eunuch")
E (pronounced as in "every")
