Jasjit meaning
Jasjit (ਜਸਜੀਤ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin, also used for girls.
Jas, praise and renown, joined with jīt, victory
Jasjit (ਜਸਜੀਤ) joins jas, praise and renown, with jīt, victory. The Mahan Kosh gives jas as praise, renown and honour, from Sanskrit yaśas, and jīt simply as victory. The name can be read as victory with glory, or as one who wins renown. Name lists render it as "glory and victory", and Sikh lists sometimes as victory through singing God's praise. It is chiefly a boys' name, also written Jasjeet, and girls carry it too.
