Meaning and origin of Aneeket
Aneeket is a variant spelling of Aniket, with the long 'ee' written out. It comes from the Sanskrit aniketa, literally 'having no fixed dwelling', from a- (without) and niketa (house). In Hindu thought this describes a wandering ascetic, and the word is applied to Shiva. Name books often translate it as 'lord of the world', meaning one whose home is everywhere, though the literal sense is homeless or free of attachment.
