Sanjivanee is Sanskrit in Origin.

Sanjivanee derives from Sanskrit saṃjīvanī (संजीवनी), built from the root jīv “to live” with the intensive prefix saṃ- and the feminine suffix -inī/-anī. In classical literature it names the fabled life-restoring herb - Sanjeevani booti - best known from the Ramayana episode in which Hanuman brings it to revive Lakshmana. As a personal name, Sanjivanee carries meanings such as “life-giver,” “reviver,” and “restorative power.”

Usage is concentrated in India and Nepal among Hindi, Marathi, and Sanskrit-influenced communities, where it emerged as a modern feminine given name in the 20th century, sometimes chosen for auspicious or health-blessing connotations. Variant spellings reflect transliteration: Sanjeevani, Sanjivani, Sanjeevanee, and Sanjivini; related names include masculine Sanjiv/Sanjeev (“alive, revived”) and the abstract Sanjivan/Sanjeevan (“revival”). Though not historically common, the name has gained visibility through literature and media, while retaining its mythic, life-affirming resonance.
