Sajal meaning
Sajal (सजल) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Containing water, watery, wet, humid
Also used to mean: moist, with water, cloud
Sajal (सजल) is Sanskrit sajala, from sa-, "with", and jala, "water". Monier-Williams gives it as possessing or containing water, watery, wet or humid. In literary Hindi it describes eyes brimming with tears or clouds heavy with rain. Name lists give Sajal as "moist", "with water" or "cloud", all drawn from this sense, and some add "pure", which is an interpretation rather than a dictionary meaning. In India it is mostly a boy's name, though it is also given to girls.
