Biswajit

Biswajit is a masculine given name of Indian origin. It is common among Bengali, Assamese, and Odia communities, and is also found in Hindi-speaking regions. The name comes from Sanskrit elements viṣva or biśba meaning world and jita meaning conquered or victorious, yielding the meaning world-conqueror or victor of the world. The spelling and pronunciation vary with regional scripts, and the name may appear as Biswajit, Biswajit, Biswabijit, or Biswajit.

In usage, Biswajit is widely used in India and Bangladesh, especially in Bengal and surrounding areas. It is a traditional name often given at birth and used with regional honorifics. The transliteration from Bengali, Odia, or Assamese scripts can lead to minor variations in English spelling, but the underlying meaning remains the same. The name is primarily masculine, though naming practices vary by family and community.

Notable people bearing the name are found across fields such as cinema, sports, academia, and public life, particularly in Bengali-speaking regions. The name is part of a broader tradition of Sanskrit-derived given names that express strength, achievement, and worldly ambitions.
