Meaning and origin of Surojit
Surojit is the Bengali spelling and pronunciation of Surajit, from Sanskrit sura, 'god', and jit, 'victorious'. It is usually read as 'one who triumphs over the gods', a poetic way of praising great strength or virtue, though some families link the first part to surya, the sun, which explains glosses such as 'conqueror of the sun'. The name is typical of Bengal, where the -jit ending is very popular, as in Indrajit and Abhijit.
