Ikshit (इक्षित) comes from Sanskrit īkṣita, a form of the verb īkṣ, "to see, to look at". Monier-Williams gives it as seen, beheld or regarded, and as a noun a look or glance, citing Kālidāsa's Śakuntalā. Name lists often give "desired", and some "sight" or "aim". The sight sense matches the dictionary; "desired" does not, and appears to be a modern meaning. As a name it is usually written with a short i, while the Sanskrit word begins with a long ī. Ikshita is the feminine form.
