Nishith meaning
Nishith (निशीथ) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Midnight; night
Nishith (निशीथ) is Sanskrit niśītha, "midnight" or simply "night", the time when the world lies down to rest; Monier-Williams derives it from the verb śī, "to lie down", and cites the Mahabharata. Name lists give "midnight" or "night", matching the dictionary. The name is easily confused with Nishit, which matches a different word, niśita, "sharpened". Nishitha is the matching girls' name.
