Sharanyaa is Sanskrit in Origin.

Sharanyaa is a feminine given name from Sanskrit śaraṇyā (शरण्या), rooted in śaraṇa, meaning refuge or shelter. It conveys protector, one who offers refuge, or worthy of being sought for protection. In Hindu hymns and devotional poetry, Śaraṇyā appears as an epithet of the Goddess - especially Durga and Parvati - emphasizing compassionate guardianship and grace.

Usage spans classical Sanskrit sources to regional bhakti traditions, with contemporary popularity across India (notably the south) and among the diaspora from the late twentieth century onward. The doubled final a in Sharanyaa reflects the long ā; alternate spellings and transliterations include Sharanya, Saranya, Saraniya/Saraniya, and the scholarly form Śaraṇyā. Related names built on the same root include Sharan and Sharanjit. The name is typically pronounced shuh-RUN-yaa and is almost exclusively feminine, though unisex usage occasionally occurs in modern settings.
