Sartaj is of Indian origin, derived from Sanskrit 'Sartak' meaning 'one who wins'. It is composed of two elements: 'sar' meaning 'head' and 'taj' meaning 'crown', signifying victory or success. This name was popularized by the character Sartaj Singh in Vikram Chandra's novel 'Sacred Games', later adapted into a Netflix series.
"Sartaj saw a significant increase in popularity between 2009 and 2022, with a notable peak of 20 births in 2018."
