What Does the Name Anagha Mean?
Anagha is a Sanskrit name meaning 'sinless' or 'faultless.' It comes from the Sanskrit adjective anagha, formed from the negative prefix a- ('not') and agha ('sin,' 'evil,' or 'fault'). The literal sense is 'without agha,' or free from wrongdoing. In Sanskrit texts the word is used as an epithet for blameless figures, and in Hindu tradition it is one of the names of Vishnu in the Vishnu Sahasranama. As a given name, Anagha is usually feminine and keeps the meaning 'sinless' or 'pure.'
Anagha Name History & Origins
