Meaning & origin

Ajith is a boy's name of Malayalam origin, traditionally used in Hindu families. The name means "Unconquered — Ajith (Malayalam അജിത്, from Sanskrit a-jita 'not conquered') is one of the names of Vishnu and Shiva — the unconquerable supreme.

Common among Indian, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayali, Singaporean, American, British families, Ajith carries cultural weight that goes beyond its dictionary definition — it's a name with a story and a community.

What's Ajith'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. Ajith opens with “Aj.” But whether that's auspicious depends on your baby's exact date, time, and place of birth.
