Manjula meaning
Manjula (मंजुला) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Beautiful, pleasing, lovely, charming; name of a river
Also used to mean: melodious
Manjula (मंजुला) is the feminine of Sanskrit mañjula, from mañju, "lovely". Monier-Williams gives beautiful, pleasing, lovely and charming, and records Mañjulā as the name of a river in the Mahabharata; as a noun mañjula can also mean a bower or arbour and a spring or well. In poetry the word is often used of sweet sounds, which is why some name lists add melodious alongside lovely and beautiful. The name is used in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
