Vraj (pronounced vrahj) is a masculine name of Indian origin that springs from the Sanskrit and Gujarati word for “pasture” or “verdant grove.” It conjures the idyllic fields of Braj—where the playful childhood of Lord Krishna unfolds amidst cattle, music, and starry nights—infusing the name with a sense of spiritual joy and natural beauty. While still a rare treasure in the US—hovering near the 900th rank with around ten newborns named Vraj in 2024—it brings a fresh, distinctive sparkle to any baby’s identity. Like a soft breeze at dawn across lush meadows, Vraj blends cherished tradition with modern individuality, making it an inspiring choice for families seeking a name that is heartfelt, timeless, and quietly powerful. And with a name this memorable, it’s likely to stand out (in the best possible way) when teachers call the roll.
