Sajjan is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Sajjan is a masculine given name from the Indo-Aryan languages, rooted in Sanskrit sajjana (सज्जन) ‘virtuous, well‑disposed; a good person’, often analyzed as sat ‘true, good’ + jana ‘person’. In modern Hindi and Punjabi, sajjan denotes a gentleman, kind-hearted person, or true friend; in Punjabi usage it can also mean ‘beloved’. The name thus carries connotations of integrity, benevolence, and dependable companionship.
The name is recorded across North India and the Punjabi/Sikh world, appearing in literature as an honorific for respectable men and borne by figures such as Maharana Sajjan Singh of Mewar (r. 1874–84) and the Hindi film actor Sajjan (1921–2000). Variants and related forms include Sajan (Hindi–Urdu), the cognate Sujan (Bengali, Nepali), and Sikh compounds like Sajjanpreet or Sajjan Singh. Predominantly masculine, it is occasionally used unisex.
