Ever since the birth of Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli's second child, social media has been filled with the same news. From an array of celebrities congratulating the star couple for their 'good news' to a list of fan pages already being created for the little one, Anushka and Virat's newborn child is already a star. For the unversed, it was on February 15, 2024, when the lovebirds were blessed with their second child, a son and they named him Akaay. And while announcing the same news on February 20, 2024, the doting parents introduced their son as their daughter, Vamika's little brother.
Just like many other parents in India who keep their kid's names based on the initials of their parents, Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli also did the same. For instance, their daughter, Vamika's name, has the same initials as her daddy. On the other hand, their newly-born son, Akaay's name, has the matching first letter with his mommy's name.

Moreover, we curated more details about the meanings of Anushka and Virat's children's names, Vamika and Akaay, according to the Hindi scriptures. Although Virat was initially an atheist, we have seen a developed interest in him after his marriage with Anushka. Moreover, they were often spotted together at various holy shrines, taking blessings from the almighty. Thus, it is quite easy to understand why the couple kept their kids' names based on Hindu Gods.
If we go by the meaning of Akaay Kohli and Vamika Kohli's names, they are fantastically kept in a way that connects with the Hindu scriptures. For instance, Akaay means 'body-less' or 'Nirakaar' in Sanskrit. Moreover, it means 'immortal' or something that doesn't decay. Coming to holy scriptures, we know that Lord Shiva is immortal in all his forms. On the other hand, Vamika means an epithet of the Goddess Durga, who sits on the left side of vam, i.e. Shiva.
