Poojaa is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Poojaa is a contemporary respelling of Pooja/Puja, a feminine given name drawn from Sanskrit pūjā (पूजा), “worship, reverence, sacred offering.” In Indic religions the word denotes a devotional rite of honoring the divine, so the name conveys piety, respect, and blessing. Pronounced POO-jah, the doubled -aa mirrors the long final ā of the original and is sometimes chosen in diaspora communities for clearer pronunciation or for numerological style.
As a personal name it gained broad currency across India and Nepal in the late 20th century, with a sharp rise in the 1980s–1990s aided by film and television figures named Pooja. Usage remains strong in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, and Nepali-speaking families, and among global South Asian communities. Common variants include Puja, Pooja, Pūjā/Poojā (with macron), Pujaa, Poojah, and Pujah; related forms include compound names such as Poojitha/Pujitha.
