It is very interesting to note the Sanskrit names of animal. Some of them are contextual and I will try to give the meaning of those contextual names too.
| English | Sanskrit | Transliteration |
| Animal | जन्तुः | Jantuḥ |
| Animal | प्राणी | Prāṇī |
| Animal | चेतनः | Cetanaḥ (the one who is sentient) |
| Animal | जीवी | Jīvī |
| Animal | जन्मी | Janmī (the one who took birth) |
| Animal | शरीरी | Śarīrī (The one who has a body) |
