Sairaj meaning
Sairaj (साईराज) is a Hindu boy's name of Hindi and Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage). By its first sound, सा, it is a Kumbh rashi name (Shatabhisha nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Sai the king (Hindi sāīṃ 'lord, holy man' + rāja 'king')
Also used to mean: Lord Sai Baba
Sairaj (साईराज) joins Sai with rāja, "king". Sai comes from the Hindi word sāīṃ, which Platts' dictionary traces to Sanskrit svāmin, "master", and glosses as master, lord, God and a holy mendicant; as a name it is tied above all to Sai Baba of Shirdi, whose shrine is in Maharashtra. Rāja is the Sanskrit for king or sovereign. Name lists give Sairaj as "Lord Sai Baba". It is used in Maharashtra and Karnataka, and is carried by the former Indian cricketer Sairaj Bahutule.
