Sujātā is a Sanskrit word meaning "from a good family origin". Su means 'good' and jātā implies jāti or 'caste'. Thus the implied and correct meaning of the word Sujata means 'of good caste' or 'the well born'. It has to be noted here that the caste-system is the spine of social Hinduism. And therefore, jātā has specific reference to jāti meaning 'caste.'
It is also a family name in former East-Prussia (old-prussian language "su-": is using a tool, "jata" (pronounced 'jaatuh' with a slight emphasis on the 't' sound, so really it's jaat): stall, butcher-stall at the market)
It is a common name for an Indian female, and may refer to:
