Meaning and origin of Indrajit
Indrajit means 'conqueror of Indra', from Indra plus jit, 'victorious'. In the Ramayana it is the title won by Meghanada, Ravana's mighty son, after he defeated the king of the gods; he was later slain by Lakshmana. Despite the epic villain, the name became popular in Bengal and across India as an emblem of valour. Bengali pronunciation softens it to roughly 'In-dro-jeet'.
