What is the meaning of the name Sajal ?

The baby name Sajal is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced IPA: /sədʒəl/ — respelling: 'suh-jul'.

Sajal is Bengali, Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sajal is a South Asian given name from Sanskrit sa + jala, literally "with water," conveying senses of "moist," "rain-laden," "dewy," and by extension "eyes brimming with tears." In poetry the word evokes freshness, compassion, and the life-giving abundance of the monsoon.

As a personal name it appears across Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Nepali, and Urdu communities. The adjective sajal is common in classical and medieval verse to describe clouds and tearful eyes; as a given name it gained broader use in the twentieth century. Sajal is usually masculine in India, Bangladesh, and Nepal, but functions as a feminine name in Pakistan as well, making it effectively unisex across the region. Variants and spellings include Sajjal and Sajol/Sojal (Bengali phonology); related but distinct names sharing the "water" root include Sujal and Sejal.
