Sanja is a unisex Croatian, Serbian, and Slovene given name (used alongside Sanjin as a masculine given name in Croatia), derived from South Slavic sanjati meaning "dream", and Sanja is also used as a diminutive of Aleksandar (Croatian, Serbian), Aleksander (Slovene), and Aleksandra (Croatian, Serbian, Slovene) in the South Slavic languages, especially in Serbian. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be changed from "Feminine" to "Feminine & Masculine", and the "Meaning & History" section of this name should be changed to read something along the lines of, "Derived from South Slavic sanjati meaning 'dream'. It can also be a diminutive of Aleksandar, Aleksander, and Aleksandra."Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisex_name

There is also a masculine form of Sanja - Sanjin. In any case, it too derives from "sanjati" TO dream (a verb, as opposed to simple noun - that would be "san"). [noted -ed]
