What is the meaning of the name Sanjukta ?

The baby name Sanjukta is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced sahn-JOOK-tah (IPA: /sənˈdʒuk.tə/).

Sanjukta is Sanskrit in Origin.

Sanjukta is a feminine Indian name rooted in Sanskrit saṃyukta (संयुक्त), meaning “united, joined together, in union,” and by extension “endowed with” or “accompanied by.” The form “Sanjukta” reflects Eastern Indo‑Aryan phonology (Bengali, Odia, Assamese), where the consonant cluster my becomes nj; elsewhere the name is more often rendered Samyukta/Sanyukta or Samyuktha.

In literature and folklore, the name is tied to the medieval romance of Prithviraj Chauhan and Princess Samyukta/Sanyogita, reinforcing associations with steadfast union and courage. It remains widely used across India and the diaspora, with spellings including Samyukta, Samyuktha, Sanyukta, Sanjuktaa and the rarer Sanyogita. Notable bearers include Odissi danseuse Sanjukta Panigrahi and several contemporary actresses named Samyuktha. Though grammatically an adjective in Sanskrit, in modern practice it functions as a given name, predominantly feminine, conveying harmony, togetherness, and completeness.
