Sanjhay is Hindi, Sanskrit in Origin.
Sanjhay is a modern respelling of Sanjay, from the Sanskrit/Pali Sañjaya, built on sam “complete, together” + jaya “victory.” The meaning centers on triumph: “completely victorious,” “one who wins,” or “triumphant.” In many South Asian languages it is a classic masculine given name, with a bright, upbeat sound that travels well across cultures.
In literature and history, Sañjaya appears as the clairvoyant narrator in the Mahābhārata, reporting the Kurukṣetra war to King Dhṛtarāṣṭra; the name also belongs to the ascetic teacher Sañjaya Belatthiputta in early Buddhist sources and to King Sanjaya of the Javanese Mataram dynasty. Spelling variants include Sanjay (standard modern form), Sanjai, Sanjei, and the Sanskritic/Indonesian/Sinhala Sanjaya; diminutives include Sanju and Jay. Sanjhay is encountered chiefly in diaspora communities (e.g., the UK, North America, the Caribbean, Fiji, Mauritius), reflecting Anglicized orthography while keeping the same victorious meaning.
Sanjhay is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 5 times, across 4 countries.
