Radiant or brilliant
Sanye is a rare name often associated with West African origins, particularly within the Yoruba language, where it can signify brilliance or radiance. It is also occasionally found as a modern phonetic variation of other names, though it remains extremely unique in the United States. Its brevity and soft vowel sounds give it a contemporary, global appeal.
