Amit is a male given name of Indian or Hebrew origin.[1]
InHindi, Amit (Hindi: अमित, means "infinite" or "boundless", Bengali: অমিত) originates from the Sanskrit word amita (अमित:),[2] amita (अमित:) essentially is the negation of mita (मित), which means "to measure".[2]
InHebrew, Amit (Hebrew: עמית) means "friend", "colleague", ״peer”, or "member of the organization".[3] The word appears in the Bible twelve times, mostly in Leviticus.[4][5] Though traditionally a common male name, it is being increasingly used as a female name in Israel. Nevertheless, it is still among the most popular names given to Jewish boys in Israel.[6][7]
