Sajan is a male given name from the South Asian linguistic sphere, rooted in Sanskrit sajjana “a good, virtuous person.” In Hindustani (Hindi-Urdu) and Nepali, sajan commonly means “beloved,” “dear one,” or “friend,” a sense that also appears in Punjabi. The name therefore carries a dual resonance: moral goodness and cherished companionship, often glossed as “beloved, good person.”

Medieval Bhakti and Sufi poetry across North India used sajan to address the human or divine beloved, helping the word feel intimate and devotional; as a personal name it gained steady use in the 20th century in India and Nepal and among the South Asian diaspora. Variant spellings include Saajan (reflecting the long vowel) and Sajjan (Punjabi), with occasional transliterations like Sajen. Feminine counterparts are Sajani and Sajna. Related forms from the same root include Sujan. Short forms such as Saj are common.
