Given a name in sanskrit, how to find what to call the son or daughter of that person. What is the grammatical rule for forming such words?

Question

Example:- Kunti-- Kauntey

anjana-- aanjane

What are the rules

Check this article out. There's a whole section about the Indian subcontinent, and a paragraph that talks about Sanskrit. I'm no expert in Sanskrit so can't verify or write a full answer. — Ignatius, Mar 27 '19 at 14:29
Thanks for the article, but it only gives examples. It doesnt seem to explain the grammatical rules behind it. — Vk1, Mar 27 '19 at 15:08
