Sujanya is Sanskrit in Origin.

Derived from Sanskrit su- “good, auspicious” + janya “born, produced; innate,” Sujanya conveys the ideas of being well-born, of good origin, and naturally virtuous. In classical usage, the cognate noun saujanya denotes gentility, courtesy, and benevolence; as a personal name, Sujanya carries these qualities, suggesting a person of good breeding and kind disposition.

Used across India in multiple languages (Hindi, Marathi, Kannada, Telugu, Bengali, and Nepali), it is a unisex name with a modestly feminine tilt in contemporary urban naming. Documented as a descriptive epithet in Sanskrit literature, it gained currency as a given name in the modern period and remains pan-regional.
