Used across India for girls, the name occurs in Sanskrit texts and later bhakti literature, and remains current in Hindu communities today. Common variants and spellings include Pankaja, Pankajaa, and the diacritic form Paṅkajā; the masculine cognate is Pankaj. Related lotus names are Padma, Kamala, and Nalini. Regional pronunciations may shorten the final vowel or accent the second syllable (pan-KA-ja/ pan-ka-JAA).
