Premji is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Premji is an Indian masculine name with roots in Indo-Aryan languages. It combines Prem - derived from Sanskrit prema, "love, affection" - with the honorific suffix -ji (Hindi/Gujarati ji), used to show respect. As a standalone given name it conveys "respected beloved" or "honored one of love," and in many communities Premji began as a polite form of address that later stabilized as a formal personal name or family name.

Usage is strongest in western and northern India, especially Gujarati and Kutchi-speaking communities, and it appears both as a first name and as a patronymic that became a surname in South Asian diasporas. The best-known bearer is industrialist and philanthropist Azim Premji, illustrating the surname form. Variants and related forms include Prem (short form), Prema (feminine), Premal, Premraj, and Premjit; an alternative transliteration Premjee occurs. The name's warm meaning and respectful tone keep it in periodic use, though less common than the simpler Prem.
