A name that means "inexhaustible, gracious".

Aanya is a modern Sanskrit-derived name with multiple possible meanings. One reading derives it from ananta (infinite, without end).

Aanya has become one of the most popular girl names in India in the past decade. The Bollywood actor Aamir Khan's niece is named Aanya, which kept the name highly visible in Indian media. Outside India, the name is rising rapidly in the South Asian diaspora, particularly in the United States, the U.K., and Canada.

Where Aanya stands.

Aanya does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
