Saikat meaning
Saikat (सैकत) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
A sandbank, sandy shore; any bank or shore
Also used to mean: sea shore, beach
Saikat (सैकत) comes from Sanskrit saikata, an adjective from sikatā, "sand". Monier-Williams gives it as "sandy, made of sand" and, as a noun, "a sandbank, sandy shore, any bank or shore". In Bengali saikat is still the ordinary literary word for a beach or seashore, and name lists translate the name as "sea shore". It suits a region of great rivers and a long coastline. Saikat is a boys' name used mainly in West Bengal and Bangladesh.
