Meaning & origin
Ajit is a boy's name of Punjabi origin, traditionally used in Sikh families.

What's Ajit's birth star?
In Vedic tradition, a baby's name is matched to their nakshatra (birth star) and rashi (moon sign) — usually through its first syllable. Ajit opens with “Aj.” But whether that's auspicious depends on your baby's exact date, time, and place of birth.
NameRoot works it out for you. Enter your baby's birth details and see exactly which nakshatra and rashi Ajit aligns with — and how strongly it scores.
