Neeraj
|
Neeraj is a Hindi name which comes originally from Sanskrit. This word "Neeraj" is made up (Sandhi) of two words in Sanskrit.
Neer means "Water" and the J means "To take birth from". So the meaning of the combined word becomes the One who takes birth from water.
There could be different things which take birth from water like fish, plants etc. but this word is only for a holy flower called Lotus ("Kamal" in Hindi).
