Victorious, triumphant
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Jayati (जयती) is a girls' name heard especially in Bengal, where it is often spelt Joyoti. It is built on Sanskrit jaya, which Monier-Williams defines as conquest, victory and triumph, and it echoes jayati, the Sanskrit verb "conquers, is victorious", familiar from hymns that begin with that word. Name lists give "victorious" or "triumphant". Because jayatī is not itself a dictionary noun, we show the meaning as a popular one built on a well-attested root. It belongs to the same family as Jaya, Jayanti and Jayita.
