Sajeev meaning
Sajeev (सजीव) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Malayalam usage).
Having life, alive
Also used to mean: full of life
Sajeev (सजीव) comes from Sanskrit sajīva, literally "with life", which Monier-Williams glosses as "having life, alive". The same dictionary notes a second, technical sense, "having a bow-string", used of a strung bow. In Hindi and other Indian languages sajīv still means living or lifelike. As a given name it belongs mainly to Kerala, where it sits beside names such as Rajeev and Sanjeev, and the Malayalam form Sajeevan adds the Malayalam -an ending.
