ujit

Ujit is a given name of Indian origin, used primarily in South Asia and among the Indian diaspora. It is typically a masculine name, though naming practices vary by region and culture, and it is more often used as a personal given name than as a surname.

The name is commonly interpreted as derived from Sanskrit or Hindi roots related to victory or rising. The element jit is often linked to jeet, meaning 'victory,' while the prefix u- or related linguistic processes may convey ascent or emphasis. Exact etymology varies by language and tradition, and some sources treat Ujit as a building block of standard name components rather than a fixed lexical item.

The name is most frequently found among Indian communities, including Hindi-speaking regions and other language groups with Sanskrit-derived names. Transliterations vary, with forms such as Ujeet, Ujith, or Ujjit appearing in different scripts and romanization schemes.

There are no widely cited figures with the exact spelling 'Ujit' in major reference works; the name may appear for private individuals or in regional contexts.
