Anjanie is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Anjanie is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, best understood as a diaspora spelling of Anjani/Anjana. It traces to the Sanskrit root añj- “to anoint, smear,” yielding añjana, the kohl or collyrium once used to darken and beautify the eyes; by extension, the name evokes “dusky/beautifying” associations and charming, kohl-lined eyes. In Hindu tradition Anjanā (also Añjanī) is the mother of Hanuman in the Ramayana, so the name carries devotional resonance and a protective, virtuous aura.
Use is documented across North India and spread widely through the 19th–20th‑century Indian diaspora to Trinidad, Guyana, Suriname, Fiji, and Mauritius, where the -ie ending reflects English and Dutch transliteration of the long final -ī sound. The name remains uncommon in Western statistics. Variants and related forms include Anjani, Anjana, Añjanī, and Anjanee; masculine counterparts include Anjan, while Anjaneya/Anjaneyar denotes “son of Anjani” (Hanuman). Common nicknames are Anji, Anju, and Anjie.
Anjanie is exceptionally rare. There are only 13 recorded uses on record, spread over 7 countries.
