Baljit meaning
Baljit (ਬਲਜੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Bal (strength) joined with jīt (victory)
Also used to mean: victory of strength
Baljit (ਬਲਜੀਤ) joins bal, strength or power, with jīt, victory; the Mahan Kosh glosses jīt with the Punjabi words for a win and for fateh. Both words occur in the Guru Granth Sahib, bal on Ang 93 and jīt on Ang 180. Name lists give "victory of strength" or "strong and victorious". The name is spelt both Baljit and Baljeet, and is given to men and women.
