Birj is in Origin.

Birj is a South Asian masculine name, most often treated as a variant of Brij/Braj, itself from Sanskrit Vraja, meaning “pasture, cattle-walk,” and by extension the sacred land of Krishna around Mathura and Vrindavan. As a given name it signals connection to that devotional landscape - “of Braj,” “belonging to Krishna’s realm,” or “Krishna’s devotee.” Usage is strongest in Hindi and related North Indian languages, and among the diaspora, where the spelling Birj sometimes appears in Latin-script records alongside Brij and Braj.

The element surfaces in numerous theophoric compounds, such as Brijmohan, Brijkishore, Brajesh, and Brajendra, and as a standalone personal name in modern records. Variants and cognates include Brij, Braj, Vraj, Vrij, Biraj, and Braja; feminine forms like Braja/Biraj are also found in some regions. Related surnames and toponyms - Braj/Brij - reinforce its cultural resonance.
