Meaning and origin of Devaj
Devaj joins deva, 'god', with ja, 'born of', giving 'born of the gods' or 'divine'. It follows the same pattern as older Sanskrit names such as Pankaj, 'born of the mud', a name for the lotus, and Anuj, 'born after', meaning a younger brother. Devaj is a modern short name rather than one from scripture, and it has been used mainly in recent decades in northern and western India.
