Gunjita meaning
Gunjita (गुंजिता) is a Hindu girl's name of Sanskrit origin.
Murmured; humming; the song of the koel
Also used to mean: humming of bees, buzzing
Gunjita (गुंजिता) is the feminine of Sanskrit guñjita. Monier-Williams gives the word as uttered in a low tone or murmured, as humming, and as the song of the koel, the cuckoo whose call fills Indian summers. It comes from the root guñj, "to hum" or "to buzz", the same root as Gunjan. Name lists give Gunjita as the humming of bees or a soft buzzing, which matches the dictionary. It is the girls' form of Gunjit.
