Namit

Namit meaning

Namit (नमित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Bowed, bent down

Also used to mean: humble

Namit (नमित) is the Sanskrit past participle namita, "bowed" or "bent down", from the verb nam, "to bend, to bow". Monier-Williams records it from classical poetry. Because bowing is the gesture of respect and devotion, name lists give Namit as "humble" or "modest", a natural extension of the literal sense rather than a different meaning. The feminine is Namita, and Namit is its boys' counterpart, used mainly in North India.
