Write about your first name: its meaning, significance, etymology, etc.

Sujata (सुजाता) is of Indian origin that means “well-born” or “well-bred”. It is derived from the Sanskrit words su meaning “well” and jata meaning “born”.

This name is associated with a prominent deity in Hinduism. This deity is an avatar of Vishnu, known for their love and compassion. The deitys consort is Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. A famous festival associated with this deity is Diwali, the festival of lights. Another deity closely related to this deity is Krishna, another avatar of Vishnu.
This name, SUJATA, is a beautiful and meaningful one! Its a Sanskrit name that means “well-born” or “of good lineage.” There are a few variations of this name, including: Sujatha: This is a common spelling variation, particularly in South India.
