Anujaah is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Anujaah is a modern feminine given name rooted in Sanskrit Anujā (अनुजा), a compound of anu- “after” and -jā “born.” The literal sense is “born later,” hence “younger sister,” a warm kinship term that became a standalone name across South Asia. Use is most common among Hindu families in India and Nepal, with notable adoption in Sri Lanka and the diaspora, where elongated vowels and terminal h spellings reflect Tamil/Sinhalese transliteration preferences. The name conveys familial affection, humility, and continuity.

In classical Sanskrit literature and the epics, anuja functions as an epithet for a younger sibling, a usage that helped normalize it as a given name in the 20th century. Variants include Anuja (standard), Anujaa, Anujah, and Anujaah, with nickname Anu. The related masculine form is Anuj (“younger brother”). While largely feminine, some communities treat Anuja as unisex.
