What is the meaning of the name Anagha ?

The baby name Anagha is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced uh-NAH-gha (IPA: /əˈnɑːɡə/).

Anagha is Sanskrit in Origin.

Anagha is a feminine given name from Sanskrit, built from the privative prefix an- (“without”) and agha (“sin, fault”), yielding the sense “sinless,” “blameless,” or “spotless.” In classical literature and Hindu devotional texts it functions as an epithet for deities noted for purity, especially Lakshmi and Vishnu; within the Datta Sampradaya, Anagha Devi names the divine consort honored alongside Dattatreya.

As a personal name, Anagha appears across India, with notable use in southern and western states and in diaspora communities since the late 20th century. Variant spellings include Anaghaa; the related masculine form is Anagh. Cognates and poetic equivalents in Sanskrit include Nirdosha and Niranjana, though these are distinct names. The gentle, virtue-forward meaning and easy phonetics have sustained its contemporary appeal while anchoring it in a long literary and ritual heritage.
