Dhruvaśarman (ध्रुवशर्मन्) is an example of a name based on a Nakṣatra mentioned in the Gupta inscriptions. These names show that the rule in the Gṛhyasūtras recommending the use of Nakṣatra names was obeyed. The Gupta empire (r. 3rd-century CE), founded by Śrī Gupta, covered much of ancient India and embraced the Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Derivation of personal names (e.g., Dhruvaśarman) during the rule of the Guptas followed patterns such as tribes, places, rivers and mountains.
