Sajan

Meaning of Sajan

Sajan is a masculine name of Sanskrit origin, signifying “beloved” or “friend,” and has long been valued in South Asian cultures for its sense of devotion and companionship. Pronounced sah-JAHN (/səˈdʒɑn/) in Indian English, it has gradually found its way into the Anglo-American naming landscape with understated appeal. In the United States, Sajan remains relatively uncommon—hovering in the 800–900 rank range over the past twenty years and registering just five newborns in 2024—a pattern that underscores its niche status. This modest popularity grants the name an air of quiet distinction, ensuring few competitors for the same moniker each year. Though its use has experienced minor fluctuations, the enduring charm of its lyrical cadence and rich cultural heritage continues to attract parents seeking a name that is both meaningful and singular.
