Anujpal is Hindi, Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Anujpal is a modern Indic compound drawn from Sanskrit roots and used across North India, especially in Punjabi and Hindi-speaking families. Anuj (अनुज) means “born after; younger sibling,” while pal/pāl (पाल), from the verb pālayati “to protect, cherish,” functions as a common name-forming element in Sikh and North Indian onomastics (as in Gopal, Tejpal). Together, Anujpal conveys “protector of the younger,” “guardian of juniors,” or more broadly “one who cherishes the young.”

Though not an ancient royal or mythic epithet, the construction follows classical Sanskrit compounding and gained currency in the 20th century alongside many -pal names. It remains relatively rare outside South Asia. Spellings vary: Anujpāl, Anujpaal; scripts include Devanagari अनुजपाल and Gurmukhi ਅਨੁਜਪਾਲ. Common short forms are Anuj or Anu. Related names highlight the -pal element (e.g., Gurpal, Hardeeppal), but Anujpal uniquely centers care for younger kin.
