Niranjana is Sanskrit in Origin.
From Sanskrit nirañjana (nir- “without” + añjana “kohl, stain”), Niranjana means “stainless, pure, untainted.” In classical usage it is an epithet of the divine - especially Shiva and the formless Absolute - and also appears as a poetic descriptor of spiritual clarity. The name is used across the Indian subcontinent, typically feminine but occasionally unisex. Common variants and related forms include Niranjan (masculine), Niranjani (feminine), Nirañjanā/Niranjanaa (transliterations), and short forms like Niru or Nira.
The term figures in Hindu and Jain devotional literature and in Buddhist geography: the Nirañjanā River near Bodh Gaya is where Siddhartha Gautama undertook austerities before enlightenment. In modern times Niranjana persists in India, Sri Lanka, and the diaspora, appreciated for its luminous meaning and smooth rhythm. It carries connotations of moral integrity, clarity of mind, and freedom from worldly blemish.
