Naming System - For many Indians, their birth name is different from their National name; the birth name starts with a letter auspicious on the basis of the person's horoscope. Some children are given one name (a given name). In communities that don't use family names, the third name can be a god's name, or the grandfather's or grandmother's name, depending on the sex of the child. Many children are given two names sometimes as a part of religious teaching, and "Velanati" and "Telaganya" indicate the ancestral places of their origin. These are used for subcaste identification and not necessarily used routinely as part of a person's National name or daily use name.*

Gender Roles - Due to the wide variety of Indian cultures, there is no one set rule. However, men are traditionally pronounced to be above women.
