What is the meaning of the name Sejal ?

The baby name Sejal is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SEH-jul (approx.) — IPA: /ˈse.dʒəl/.

Sejal is Indian in Origin.

Sejal is a feminine given name from the Indo-Aryan sphere, especially Gujarati and Hindi, ultimately tracing to Sanskrit sajala (sa- “with” + jala “water”). The core sense is “full of water,” “moist,” or “rain-laden,” which in modern usage carries gentle, positive nuances such as “fresh,” “pure,” and “clear as river water.” These watery associations link the name with life-giving rain, tenderness, and clarity.

Use has been strongest in western India, particularly among Gujarati-speaking Hindu and Jain communities, and broadened across India and the diaspora in the late twentieth century with increased mobility and media exposure. Today it reads as modern yet rooted. Common variants and spellings include Sajal (a closely related form that is unisex and more often masculine in Bengal and North India), Seejal, and Sezal; a learned Sanskritic feminine form Sajala also appears. The pronunciation is typically SAY-juhl or SEH-juhl.
