Amit

/ˈæmɪt/ noun

Definition

A name meaning 'infinite' or 'boundless' in Sanskrit; also refers to a friend or companion.

Etymology

From Sanskrit 'amit,' composed of 'a-' (not) and 'mit' (measured/limited), literally meaning 'not limited' or 'boundless.' Used as both a proper name and a word meaning friend in some South Asian languages.

Kelly Says

Many Sanskrit names encode philosophical meanings—calling someone 'Amit' is like wishing them to be boundless in potential, which is why so many parents choose names with deep positive meanings.
