Lakshit meaning
Lakshit (लक्षित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Marked, distinguished; aimed at; seen, recognised; excellent
Also used to mean: one with a goal
Lakshit (लक्षित) is the Sanskrit past participle lakṣita, from the verb lakṣ, "to mark, to observe, to aim at". Monier-Williams gives a range of senses: marked or distinguished by something, aimed at as a target, perceived or recognised, known, and, as a final sense, excellent. Name lists today usually explain Lakshit as "aimed" or "one with a goal", which matches the dictionary's "aimed at". The name is related to Lakshya, "a target, an aim", and to Laksh. In South India it is often spelled Lakshith.
