The meaning

A name that means "the only-born (sanskrit + foundational)".

Ekaja comes from the Sanskrit Ekajā, from eka (one) and ja (born) — the single, singular child. The eka family runs deep in Sanskrit naming for its sense of the whole gathered into one.

It carries quiet distinction: not one of many, but the one.

The only-born — the whole of a hope gathered into one child.
