Sanjna is a feminine given name of Sanskrit origin, from Saṃjñā (sam- ‘together’ + jñā ‘to know’). In classical usage it denotes consciousness, awareness, and recognition, and also “designation” or “a name” in grammatical discourse. The related Pali term saññā means perception. As a personal name, it connotes clarity of mind and understanding.

In Hindu mythology, Saṃjñā is the daughter of Viśvakarman and first wife of the sun-god Sūrya, mother of Yama, Yami, and Vaivasvata Manu (often also Śani and Tapatī). The well-known episode of her creating a shadow-double, Chāyā, gives the name enduring cultural presence. Sanjna has seen steady use across Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali-speaking communities, and in the diaspora, though the extended form Sanjana is more common in modern records. Variant spellings include Samjna, Sanjnaa, and the scholarly Saṃjñā; related forms are Sanjana and Nepali Sangya.
