Soumyajit meaning
Soumyajit (सौम्यजित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali and Odia usage).
Compound of saumya, 'gentle, mild', and jit, 'winning, conquering'
Also used to mean: gentle victor, calm conqueror
Soumyajit (सौम्यजित) is a Bengali and Odia name joining Sanskrit saumya, "gentle, mild", with jit, "winning, conquering". Saumya first meant "belonging to Soma", the moon, and so came to describe a calm, moon-like temperament; Monier-Williams also notes it as a polite form of address. Name lists give Soumyajit as "gentle victor" or "calm conqueror", which fits the two parts. The Bengali spelling Soumya- reflects the way the opening syllable is said, like "show". It belongs to a family of Soumya- names that includes Soumyadip and Soumyaranjan.
