Ajitpal meaning
Ajitpal (ਅਜੀਤਪਾਲ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
Ajīt (invincible, unconquered) joined with pāl (protector)
Ajitpal (ਅਜੀਤਪਾਲ) joins ajīt with pāl. Ajīt is the Punjabi form of Sanskrit ajita, "unconquered", and the Mahan Kosh gives it as unconquered. Pāl, from the Sanskrit root meaning to protect, is a protector, guardian or sustainer, as in the names Harpal and Amritpal. The name thus means an invincible protector. Ajit is also the name of Sahibzada Ajit Singh, the eldest son of Guru Gobind Singh, who fell at the battle of Chamkaur. The hockey player Ajit Pal Singh, who captained India to the 1975 World Cup title, carries the name, which is written as one word or two. The whole name is not a dictionary headword; its meaning comes from its two parts.
