How this list is built

These are names from the NaamSetu catalog whose recorded meaning explicitly refers to Lord Shiva — matched on the meaning text against shiva, mahadev, shankar, rudra and other epithets. The count above is the size of that list, not a traditional figure: this is not the Ashtottara Shatanamavali, and we do not claim it is 108 names.

Meanings come from the catalog entry for each name. If one looks wrong, every name page has a correction link.
