Ihit meaning
Ihit (ईहित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin. By its first sound, ई, it is a Vrishabh rashi name (Krittika nakshatra) in the North Indian table.
Sought, striven for; wished for, desired; (as a noun) desire, effort
Also used to mean: prize, effort
Ihit (ईहित) is Sanskrit īhita, from the verb īh, "to strive for, to desire". Monier-Williams gives it as sought or striven for, wished or desired, and as a noun desire, request or effort, citing the Hitopadeśa and the Kathāsaritsāgara. Name lists give "desired", and some add "prize" or "effort", all of which fit the dictionary. Name sites often write it इहित with a short i, while the Sanskrit word has a long ī. The feminine Ihita is also used.
