A Sanskrit name gently fading from the charts.
A male given name from Sanskrit.
Amit is a boy's and girl's baby name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'boundless,' 'infinite,' or 'immeasurable.'

One of the most popular names in India, it has been borne by actors, politicians, and scholars across generations.
Amit was #2243 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #5894, but its charm endures.
