Archit meaning
Archit (अर्चित) 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.
Honoured, worshipped, respected; offered with reverence
Also used to mean: revered
Archit (अर्चित) is the Sanskrit arcita, the past participle of the verb arc, "to praise, to honour, to worship". Monier-Williams gives it as honoured, worshipped, respected or saluted, and, of an offering, presented with reverence, citing the Mahābhārata and the law books. The same verb gives arcanā, "worship", and arcā, an image of a deity that receives worship, and Archana is the matching girl's name. Name lists give Archit as "worshipped", "honoured" or "revered", matching the dictionary.
