Sujana is Sanskrit in Origin.
Sujana is a Sanskrit-derived given name formed from su- “good, excellent” and jana “person, people,” yielding the sense “virtuous person,” “noble-hearted,” or “of good character.” In modern South Asian use it is typically feminine, though occasionally unisex, and appears across Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali, Nepali, and Sinhala communities, with pronunciation roughly soo-JUH-nah and evenly syllabified in Indian languages.
The word sujana appears in classical Sanskrit as an epithet for the righteous, which helped the name travel widely through Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain milieus and into everyday naming across India and Sri Lanka. Variants and transliterations include Sujanā/Sujanaa; the shortened Sujan is a common masculine counterpart. Related names sharing the su- “good” element include Sujata/Sujatha. Informal diminutives such as Suju or Jana also occur.
