Urja meaning
Urja (ऊर्जा) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Strength, vigour, sap
Also used to mean: energy
Urja (ऊर्जा) is Sanskrit ūrjā, which Monier-Williams gives as "strength, vigour, sap", a word already found in the Rigveda; the related ūrja means power, vigour, and also life and breath. In the Viṣṇu and Bhāgavata Purāṇas Ūrjā is a daughter of Dakṣa and the wife of the sage Vasiṣṭha. In modern Hindi ūrjā is the everyday word for energy, including electrical power, and name lists give Urja as "energy", "vigour" or "strength", which fits the old sense. Oorja is an alternative spelling.
