Anujha is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Anujha is a modern South Asian feminine given name tracing to Sanskrit anuja, meaning “born later” or “younger sibling,” traditionally “younger sister.” The base word appears in classical Sanskrit literature and epics as both adjective and kinship noun, and the name spread as a given name in Hindi-, Marathi-, Bengali-, and Dravidian-speaking regions in the 20th century. Anujha’s spelling, with jh, is an ornamental or phonetic variant; the classical Devanagari form is अनुजा (Anujā) with j, not jh.

Common variants include Anuja, Anooja (Kerala/Malayalam transliteration), and Anujaa; the related masculine form is Anuj. Diminutives such as Anu are widely used. The name carries a gentle, affectionate connotation of the cherished younger child and, by extension, humility or deference in Sanskrit compounds. Usage today is pan-Indian and diasporic, found among Hindu, Jain, and occasionally Buddhist families who favor Sanskritic heritage names.
