Ruchit meaning
Ruchit (रुचित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Shone upon, bright, glittering; pleasant, agreeable
Also used to mean: pleasing
Ruchit (रुचित) is Sanskrit rucita, from ruc, "to shine". Monier-Williams gives it as shone upon, as by the sun, and so bright, brilliant and glittering, and also as pleasant and agreeable, or sweet and dainty. Name lists give "bright" or "pleasing", which match. It sits in a family of names from the same root, with Ruchir, "radiant", and the girls' names Ruchi and Ruchita. Ruchit is used in Gujarat and Maharashtra.
