Asan Amit is a common male name, in India and Israel.

Contents

Amit (Hindi: अमित, Bengali: অমিত) originates from the Sanskrit word amita (अमित:), meaning infinite or boundless. amita (अमित:) essentially is the negation of mita (मित), which means "to measure"

In Hebrew, Amit (Hebrew: עמית‎‎) means friend. The word appears in the Bible in a context suggesting such a meaning. However, Even-Shoshan dictionary suggests a Roman source (esp. French: Ami). Though traditionally a common male name in India, it is being increasingly used as a female name in Israel. Nevertheless, it is still among the most popular names given to Jewish boys in Israel.
