Sinajana is one of the 19 Villages of Guam. It is located in the hills south of Hagåtña (formerly Agana). The villages name may have come from the word "china-jan," cookware used to cook wild yams that once grew in the area. Sinajana is one of a few villages that was urbanized as a result of a federal urban renewal program. Afame, Agana Springs, and Didigue are a few non-urbanized areas within this same village.
