Solanje is in Origin.

Solanje is a rare modern variant of the French name Solange, which descends from Late Latin sollemnis/sollemnia, “solemn, ceremonial, devout.” Used as a feminine given name in medieval France, it was anchored in hagiography by Saint Solange of Berry (9th century), a shepherdess-martyr and local patron. The meaning associated with the root evokes dignity, reverence, and steadfast observance, qualities that kept the name in periodic use across Francophone regions.

Solanje reflects a creative respelling of Solange, adopted to signal the French “zh” consonant in -ange and to set the name apart. The base form spread beyond France into Portugal, Spain, and Latin America, and entered English use in the 19th–20th centuries, with periodic revivals. Related forms include Solangie and Solángela in Hispanic contexts; cognate Solène shares the same Latin root.
