Kritin meaning
Kritin (कृतिन) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Skilful, learned, clever; one who has attained his aim
Also used to mean: skilled, accomplished
Kritin (कृतिन) comes from Sanskrit kṛtin, an adjective formed from kṛta, "done, accomplished". Monier-Williams lists its senses as "active", then "clever, skilful, learned", "virtuous, pious", and "one who has attained his object, satisfied". Indian name lists usually give "skilled" or "accomplished", which fits the dictionary well. In the Bhāgavata Purāṇa Kṛtin is also the name of two princes. The name is short, modern-sounding and easy to say in English as well as in Indian languages.
