Saroj (सरोज) means lotus, literally born of a lake, and Niraj means lotus born of water. Puskar means blue lotus and also a lake, while Nalin means lotus or water lily. Sajal means moist or full of water, and can suggest clouds. Barun (वरुण) is Varuna, the god of the waters and the sky; our guide to names from Hindu gods and goddesses has more names of this kind. Barkha means rain or the rainy season.
Tips for parents
- Decide which water you picture first: Sagar and Oshan for the open sea, Sahil for a shore, Barkha for rain.
- Say Saroj and Niraj beside your surname, since the closing -j can either blend softly or stand out.
- Niraj and Neeraj are the same name in two spellings, so settle on one form for school records.
- If a name comes from a god, as Barun does, read the meaning aloud and decide whether that tone suits your family.
