Re: Aja
in reply to a message by Mara
I think Shania Twain named her SON Aja but I agree that it sounds quite feminine.
It does mean 'Goat' in Hindi but I found the following comments posted on a name site:
"Aja is an awesome name that means "Pretty One" in Korean and "Spirited One" in Swahili!" Of course I don't know if this is accurate or not.
"Nickname for Ajalon, where the sun and the moon stood still, as Joshua commanded."
"It is the name of my husband's favorite album from his favorite band, Steely Dan!"

Hello. As you can see, my name is Aja. I've always known that my name meant goat in Hindu and I was always angry about. All my friends had names with great meanings, Akil, Angela, Marc. And I was pleased to see that Aja also means great things in other languages. I also did some background work and found that it does actually mean what you said it does. And from now on when someone asks what my name means, I'll tell them "spirited one"!
P.s. My dad named me after the Steely Dan album...

My name is Aja i was named after the Steeley Dan song. I would like to think that there are other meanings for my name besides goat....because i love my name
I'm an Aja too! Also from the Steely Dan song/album.
A friend of mine said that he read somewhere that Aja also means 'one who lives in her own existence'

Hehehe -- rarely do I get to "meet" other Aja's. Do you know where your friend read that the name means "one who lives in her own existence"?
