Ashvini (aśvinī) is the name of a Hindu constellation (the head of Aries, or the first of the 28 Nakshatras). Personified, Ashvini is the wife of the Ashvins (Rigveda 5.46.8), later also considered their mother.
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:
Chu (pronounced as it appears)
Che (pronouced chay)
Cho (pronounced as it appears)
La (pronounced as it appears)
