Janya First Name Meaning

Janya is a female name of American origin, meaning "Combination of Jane and Anya." In Carnatic (South Indian) music, the term "janya" refers to a raga derived from one of the 72 fundamental melodic structures. These ragas are classified into various types, including Varja ragas, Upanga/Bhashanga ragas, Single octave ragas, Karnataka/Desya ragas, and others. Varja ragas omit one or more notes of their parent melakarta raga, while Upanga ragas strictly derive from their parent raga. Some janya ragas are sung in a single octave with the highest note varying. Karnataka ragas originate in Carnatic music, while Desya ragas have their origins in other music, primarily Hindustani. Additionally, janya ragas are classified based on relationships with other ragas, presence of gamakas, stresses on notes, time of day, rasa or mood evoked, and more. For more examples of janya ragas, refer to the List of Janya Ragas.
