Lokranjan is a Sanskrit-derived Indian given name formed from loka (“world, people”) and rañjana/rañjan (“pleasing, delighting; one who charms”). The compound thus means “one who delights the world,” with nuances of being widely beloved or bringing joy to society. In contemporary usage it is typically masculine, though the underlying root is unisex across Indo‑Aryan languages.
