Aparajit meaning

Aparajit (अपराजित) 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.

Unconquered, unsurpassed; a name of Vishnu and of Shiva

Also used to mean: invincible

Aparajit (अपराजित) is the Sanskrit aparājita, from a-, "not", and parājita, "defeated". Monier-Williams gives it as unconquered or unsurpassed, from the Ṛg-veda on, and lists it as a name of Viṣṇu and of Śiva, of one of the eleven Rudras and of a son of Kṛṣṇa. The feminine Aparājitā is a name of Durgā and of the blue butterfly-pea flower. Satyajit Ray's 1956 film Aparajito, "The Unvanquished", took its title from the Bengali form of the word. Name lists give Aparajit as "unconquered" or "invincible", matching the dictionary.

In Hindu tradition this is a name of Vishnu.
