Sujan meaning
Sujan (सुजन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A good, virtuous, kind or benevolent person
Also used to mean: good person
Sujan (सुजन) is Sanskrit su-jana, from su, "good", and jana, "person, people". Monier-Williams gives it as a good, virtuous, kind or benevolent person, man or woman, citing the Ramayana and the Kathāsaritsāgara. Name lists give Sujan as "good person", "virtuous" or "kind", matching the dictionary; some also give "wise", a sense that belongs to the similar Hindi word sujān, "knowing, clever", rather than to sujana. The name is used across north India and Nepal, and in Bengali as Sujon. Its opposite, durjana, is the old word for a wicked person.
