Abhijat meaning
Abhijat (अभिजात) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, अ, it is a Mesh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Noble, well-born; fit, proper; wise; handsome
Abhijat (अभिजात) is Sanskrit abhijāta, from jan, "to be born", with abhi-. Monier-Williams gives born or produced, noble and well-born, inborn, fit or proper, and from the lexicons wise, learned and handsome; as a noun the word means nobility or high birth. Baby-name lists give the name as "noble" or "well-born", which matches the dictionary. It is used mainly in Marathi and Hindi-speaking families. The screenwriter Abhijat Joshi, known for 3 Idiots, PK and Sanju, carries the name.
