Sahaja

Sahaja meaning

Sahaja (सहजा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Telugu, Kannada and Odia usage).

Innate, natural; born together; always the same as from the beginning

Also used to mean: spontaneous

Sahaja (सहजा) is the feminine of Sanskrit sahaja, from saha, "with, together", and ja, "born". Monier-Williams gives its first sense as born or produced together with someone, and then congenital, innate and natural, "by nature", and "always the same as from the beginning"; as a noun it means a natural state or disposition, and Sahajā is recorded as the name of various women. One late source also uses it for liberation within one's own lifetime. Name lists give Sahaja as "natural", "spontaneous" or "innate", the dictionary meaning. The name is used mainly in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Odisha.
