Tanujyaa is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

From Sanskrit Tanujā (तनुजा), formed from tanu “body” and -jā “born,” the name denotes “daughter,” “one born of the body,” with nuances of cherished, birthright child. The feminine ending -ā is inherent; thus the semantics clearly mark a girl’s name across Indo-Aryan traditions. Classical lexicons and poetry use tanujā as a poetic term for a daughter, and the meaning carries unchanged into modern usage.

Tanujyaa represents a modern respelling of this form, often chosen to reflect the long final vowel; related spellings include Tanuja, Tanujaa, and the scholarly IAST Tanujā. The masculine cognate is Tanuj (“son; offspring”). The name is common in Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, and Nepali contexts, and gained pan-Indian familiarity in the 20th century through public figures named Tanuja in cinema and literature. Cognate names with similar sense include Tanaya and Duhitā, though they are etymologically distinct.
