Jitendra is a masculine name of Indian origin and is predominantly used in Hindi, Marathi, and Gujarati. Its meaning is derived from Sanskrit, combining two elements, jeet and Indra, meaning “conqueror of Indra,” with Indra being the ancient Hindu warrior God of the sky and rain. It may also come from Jitendriya, “one who has conquered the senses.” Jitendra is one of the names of Gautama Buddha and Hanuman, and these religious connections can help baby connect with their inner strength.
