The 10th house is called tata, ajna, mana, karma, aspada, gagana, nabha, vyoma, meshurana, madhya and vyapara. The 11th house is called bhava (house), agama, prapti and aya. The sages call the 12th house pranti, antima and riphha. The skilled should use their minds for any other names. A word with the same meaning as a house name also names that house.
Simple meaning: The 10th, 11th and 12th houses each have several names. Words of the same meaning are names too.
