Origin, Meaning, And History of Amit
Amit is a Hindi and Bengali name of Sanskrit origin that means ‘infinite’, ‘immeasurable’, or ‘boundless.’ It originates from the Sanskrit word Amita and Mita which means ‘to measure’. It is one of the names of the Lord Ganesha. This name in Hebrew means ‘friend’ or ‘colleague.’
Amit also has an Arabic origin, meaning ‘highly praised’, ‘beloved’, or ‘victorious’. It also refers to the Arabian gesture Yā manṣūr Amit! which was an Islamic war cry that meant ‘O thou whom God hath made victorious, slay!’ It was used by the Muslim army during the Battle of Badr while countering the attack of the Makkan charge. The name also appears as a word in the Book of Leviticus in the Bible. Additionally, the name also means ‘one with endless friends’ or ‘one who is limitless.’
The name is also associated with the Egyptian Ammit, which is derived from the ancient Egyptian Goddess Ammut. In the ancient Egyptian religion, Ammut is known as the devourer of the dead who plays an important role in the judgment of the dead and their funeral rites. This character and the name Ammit were popularized by the Rick Riordan series The Kane Chronicles.
The variations of this name include Ameet, Aamit, Ammit, and the feminine variant Amita.
The name Amit gained popularity through various fictional characters in popular media. One such character is Amit, from the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s TV series Agents of Shield. Another is Amit Lodha, the superintendent of police in the Indian crime thriller streaming television series Khakee: The Bihar Chapter. The character of the friendly, England-educated poet Amit from Vikram Seth’s novel A Suitable Boy also contributed to the name’s popularity.
The female variant of the name, Amita, has also gained popularity through fictional characters such as Amita Ramanujan, the intelligent professor from the CBS crime drama Numb3rs. Another popular fictional character with this name is Amita from the first-person shooter game Far Cry 4, developed by Ubisoft Montreal.
