Sanjana
Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sanjana: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 2005.
Of Sanskrit origin, Sanjana means "gentle" or "soft," and is also associated with the Hindu goddess of patience, Sanjna, who was the wife of Surya the sun god. The name is borne by Indian actress and model Sanjana Sanghi, known for her role in *Dil Bechara*, and by theatre personality Sanjana Kapoor. While not directly tied to a Scottish place, Sanjana has grown steadily in popularity among Scotland's South Asian communities since the 1990s, reflecting the country's increasing cultural diversity. A melodic, three-syllable name with a serene meaning, Sanjana remains a graceful choice that travels well across traditions.
