arpit

Arpit is a common masculine given name of Sanskrit origin, used primarily in India and among South Asian communities. The name derives from the Sanskrit root "arp" (to offer) and the past participle "arpita," meaning "offered," "dedicated," or "devoted." In Devanagari script it is written as अर्पित.

As a personal name, Arpit commonly expresses dedication or consecration, often with religious or devotional undertones such as dedication to a deity, a spiritual path, or a cause. Pronunciation typically follows the two-syllable pattern "AR-pit," with regional variations in stress and vowel quality across India’s many languages.

Variants and related forms include the feminine Arpita and alternative spellings that reflect regional phonetics, such as Arpith. The name is used across linguistic and religious communities in South Asia, though it is most prevalent among Hindi-speaking and other Indo-Aryan language populations.

Arpit appears across a range of professions and public spheres, including arts, sports, science, and business, reflecting its broad cultural acceptance rather than association with any single social group. As with many South Asian names, its selection often reflects familial, cultural, or spiritual values.
