ANkit

Ankit is a masculine given name of Indian origin, commonly used in Hindi-speaking regions and among the Indian diaspora. It is widely found in India and Nepal and among communities with heritage from the Indian subcontinent.

The name derives from the Sanskrit term ankita, meaning marked, noted, or engraved. In this sense, Ankit is often interpreted as one who is marked or noted, or as a name signifying something that is recorded or commemorated.

Ankit is typically used as a male name. Variants include Ankith and other transliterations; the feminine form Ankita (also written Ankitha) is used in the same linguistic region.

In contemporary usage, individuals named Ankit have become prominent in fields such as entertainment, sports, technology, and academia across the Indian subcontinent and abroad. The name reflects a tradition of Sanskrit-derived naming commonly found in Indian culture.
