Vandit meaning
Vandit (वंदित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Gujarati usage).
Praised, extolled, celebrated
Also used to mean: respected, worshipped
Vandit (वंदित, Gujarati વંદિત) comes from Sanskrit vandita, "praised", formed from the verb vand, "to praise, to greet with reverence". Monier-Williams gives it as praised, extolled and celebrated, and cites it as early as the Atharvaveda. Name lists give Vandit as "respected" or "worshipped", which matches the sense of someone who receives praise and salutation. The same root gives the boys' name Vandan, "salutation", and the girls' name Vandana. Vandit is used mainly in Gujarati families.
