Loving, good
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Hiten (हितेन) is a short, modern-sounding name long used in Gujarat. It is not a dictionary word. Name lists treat it as a short form of Hitendra, "lord of well-being", or link it straight to Sanskrit hita, which Monier-Williams gives as beneficial, wholesome, friendly and kind, and as a noun welfare and good advice. That is why lists give it as "loving" or "good". Some also give "the heart", which we could not trace to any source. Hiten is also a Japanese word for heavenly beings, unrelated to the Indian name.
