Meaning

Unconquered, in the documented Hindi name tradition with Sanskrit ancestry.

The English Ajit entry links the Sanskrit-derived spelling अजीत. The reviewed Hindi entry explicitly records both Ajit given-name use and the unconquered word sense. This is the documented linguistic association, not a claim that a child will be invincible; a deeper Sanskrit compound analysis is not asserted.

Origin

Sanskrit.

The reviewed English given-name entry identifies Sanskrit borrowing. The separately reviewed Hindi given-name and word association supplies the meaning explanation, with its own supporting source.

English pronunciation

Not yet published for this spelling.
