Anjiah is in Origin.
Anjiah is a South Indian masculine given name of Telugu origin, closely related to Anjaiah/Anjayya, a vernacular form of Sanskrit Anjaneya. In Telugu, the honorific suffix -ayya/-yya is often romanized as -aiah/-iah, yielding spellings like Anjiah. The underlying Sanskrit Anjaneya means “son of Anjana,” an epithet of the deity Hanuman, so the name carries associations of strength, courage, loyalty, and protective devotion.
Used primarily in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, Anjiah gained wider visibility in the 20th century; a notable bearer is Tanguturi Anjaiah, former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh (1980–1982). In Telugu naming practice it may appear as a given name or, through patronymic patterns, as a last name. Variants and related forms include Anjaiah, Anjayya, Anjaneya, and the honorific Anjaneyulu; diminutive Anji is common. Feminine counterparts in the same name family are Anjana and Anjani.
Anjiah barely registers. There are only 8 recorded uses on record, spread over 3 countries.
