Samarjit meaning

Samarjit (समरजित्) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Victorious in battle; the name of a king

Also used to mean: victorious in war

Samarjit (समरजित्) is Sanskrit samarajit, from samara, "battle, war", and jit, "conquering, winning". Monier-Williams gives it as "victorious in battle" and records it as the name of a king in the Kathāsaritsāgara, the great collection of Sanskrit tales. Name lists give "victorious in war" or "conqueror in battle", which match the dictionary. It belongs to a family of warrior names ending in -jit, such as Indrajit and Satyajit, and is used across north India and Bengal, often spelled Samarjeet.
