Urjit meaning
Urjit (ऊर्जित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Endowed with strength; strong, mighty, powerful, excellent
Also used to mean: energetic
Urjit (ऊर्जित) is the Sanskrit ūrjita, from ūrj, "vigour, strength, nourishment", the same root as Hindi ūrjā, "energy". Monier-Williams gives it as endowed with strength or power, strong, mighty, excellent and great, and as a noun for strength and valour; in some contexts it could also mean proud. Name lists give Urjit as "energetic" or "mighty", in line with the dictionary. Its best-known bearer is the economist Urjit Patel, a former Governor of the Reserve Bank of India.
