Sanjit meaning
Sanjit (संजित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
A conqueror, winner
Also used to mean: victorious, complete victory
Sanjit (संजित) is Sanskrit saṃjit, made of the intensifying prefix saṃ-, "together, completely", and jit, "conquering, winning". Monier-Williams records it as a noun, "a conqueror, winner", already found in the Rig Veda. Indian name lists give it as "victorious" or "complete victory", which follows the dictionary closely. The name is used across north India and Bengal, often spelled Sanjeet, and is borne by the social activist Sanjit "Bunker" Roy, founder of the Barefoot College in Rajasthan.
