We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Divit (दिवित) is a modern name. Families usually connect it with the Sanskrit div, which Monier-Williams gives as heaven and the sky, the same root as deva, "god", and divya, "divine". Divit itself, however, does not appear in the classical dictionaries, and Indian name lists explain it in different ways: "heavenly", "divine", "immortal" or "reaching for the sky". None of these can be traced to a dictionary entry, so they are best read as modern meanings that parents have attached to an attractive sound. It is a recent name, used especially in North and West India.
