Swapnaja meaning
Swapnaja (स्वप्नजा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin (Marathi usage).
Produced in sleep, dreamt; born of a dream
Swapnaja (स्वप्नजा) is Sanskrit svapnaja, "born of a dream": svapna, "sleep" or "dream", with -ja, "born from". Monier-Williams gives the word as produced in sleep or dreamt, citing Kalidasa's Meghaduta. As a girls' name it carries the idea of a child who was dreamed of before she came. It belongs to the same family as Swapna and the Marathi name Swapnali, and like them it is used mostly in Maharashtra.
