What Does the Name Amith Mean?
Amith is an Indian masculine name meaning "limitless" or "infinite." It is a variant spelling of Amit, from the Sanskrit adjective amita, "unmeasured" or "boundless," formed from the negative prefix a- ("not") and mita ("measured"). The literal sense is "not measured"; the final -th is a transliteration feature, not a separate Sanskrit element.
The similar Hebrew name Amit (עמית) means "friend" or "colleague." It is a separate name, normally spelled without a final h in English, and it is not the source of the Indian Amith.
Amith Name History & Origins
The Sanskrit adjective amita appears in ancient Sanskrit texts as a description of what is without measure. In Indian naming, Amit became a male personal name, and Amith is one of its English transliterations. The final -th is especially associated with Malayalam and other South Indian transliterations, where it stands for a dental t rather than the English th sound. Northern Indian usage more often uses Amit.
The Buddhist title Amitābha, "Infinite Light," contains the same Sanskrit word, but it is a religious epithet and a separate development from the personal name.
