Surajit meaning
Surajit (सुरजित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).
A man's name, borne by various authors (sura 'god' + jit 'conquering')
Also used to mean: conqueror of the gods, victorious devotee
Surajit (সুরজিৎ, सुरजित) joins Sanskrit sura, "god", with jit, "conquering, victorious", the ending of names such as Indrajit and Abhijit. Monier-Williams records Surajit only as the name of various Sanskrit authors, so the name is old, though the dictionary does not define it; read from its parts it means one who wins over or conquers the gods. Name lists give Surajit as "conqueror of the gods" or "victorious devotee", the second reading the name as winning the gods' favour. It is mainly a Bengali name, often pronounced Surojit, and is a different name from the Punjabi Surjit.
