Meaning today
Sage-like, the best
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Rishit (ऋषित) is a modern name that sounds like a Sanskrit participle, in the pattern of Rakshit or Rachit, but it is not found in the dictionaries. Name lists usually connect it with ṛṣi, "sage", the seers of the Vedic hymns, and explain it as "sage-like" or "wise"; others give "the best" or "illustrious". Those readings are modern rather than dictionary senses. Rushit is another spelling, and Rishita is used for girls. We show the likely root rather than a confirmed meaning.
