Meaning & origin
Anjuli first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1979, a period when creative name spellings were gaining popularity. It reached its peak rank in 1985, but has been falling in use since that year. The name's trajectory shows a steady decline, reflecting a shift away from its once-novel appeal. Anjuli is not associated with any top states, indicating its usage was scattered rather than concentrated regionally. While it may share roots with the Sanskrit Anjali, its standalone adoption in English-speaking countries marks it as a modern coinage.
Anjuli likely arose as a creative spelling of Anjali, a name of Sanskrit origin meaning 'offering' or 'salutation,' but its independent use in the United States beginning in 1979 suggests it may be a modern invented name. It saw modest popularity in the 1980s, peaking in 1985, and has since declined in use. The name is not strongly tied to any single cultural tradition in its current usage.
