Satyajit meaning
Satyajit (सत्यजित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Truly victorious, winning through truth
Also used to mean: victory of truth
Satyajit (सत्यजित) is Sanskrit satyajit, from satya, "truth", and jit, "conquering, winning". Monier-Williams gives it as truly victorious or winning through truth, citing the Vājasaneyi Saṃhitā and the Atharva Veda, and records it as the name of Indra in the third Manvantara, of a king, and of several princes in the Purāṇas. Name lists give "victory of truth" or "one who conquers through truth". The film director Satyajit Ray made the name known worldwide.
