Vidit meaning
Vidit (विदित) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.
Known, understood, learnt, perceived; a learned man, sage
Also used to mean: famous
Vidit (विदित) is the Sanskrit vidita, the past participle of vid, "to know", the same root that gives veda and vidyā. Monier-Williams gives it as known, understood, learnt and perceived, and as apprised or informed; it also records the noun sense "a learned man, a sage". In Hindi vidit still means "known" or "made known". Name lists give it as "known", "learned" or "famous", which fits the dictionary. A well-known bearer is the chess grandmaster Vidit Gujrathi. Vidith is the usual South Indian spelling.
