Inderjit

US Popularity Rank: 11455

Origin: Indian

Meaning: Conqueror of Indra

Inderjit is a gender-neutral Indian and Pakistani name with Sanskrit origins. This empowering appellation is inspired by Indrajit, a lofty title that blends Indra, the name of the king of the devas and heaven, with jit, meaning “conquer.” Carrying the definition “conqueror of Indra,” Indrajit was borne by the prince of Lanka who conquered Indraloka—heaven. What better way to show baby Inderjit that the sky is the limit than with a name derived from one of the greatest warriors in Hindu scripture?
