Meaning and origin of Archit
Archit is the Sanskrit past participle archita, from the same root arc that gives archana, 'worship'. It therefore describes someone who is honoured or revered, the one who receives worship rather than the one who offers it. The name is a fairly modern choice that spread in the later twentieth century among Hindi-speaking families, valued for its short, crisp sound. Its feminine counterpart Archita is also in use.
