Signature Meaning
Thanaja (தனஜா) is a feminine name used in Tamil-speaking communities with a gentle, lyrical sound. Some speakers parse it as containing elements that suggest 'self' or 'own' plus a suffix meaning 'born', giving a sense of independence or self-origin, but this is not confirmed. Many parents choose it for its modern, pleasant tone rather than a specific classical meaning.
