Anjli is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.
Anjli is a South Asian feminine name from Sanskrit añjali (अञ्जलि), meaning "offering," "tribute," or "a handful" made by cupping the palms together, the gesture known as Anjali Mudra. The root añj conveys "to honor, adorn, or anoint," so the name carries connotations of reverence, blessing, and gracious giving across Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain traditions. It appears in classical poetry and temple ritual vocabulary, later becoming a popular personal name in many Indian languages.
The spelling Anjli is a streamlined, phonetic form of Anjali that reflects Hindi and Gujarati pronunciation, often heard as ANJ-lee. Common variants include Anjali (dominant), Anjuli, and Anjalee/Anjalie. Diminutives like Anju or Anj are widespread. Usage rose across India in the mid‑20th century and spread with the diaspora, where the shorter spelling is occasionally preferred for ease of spelling and a modern look.
