Ajith is a South Asian masculine name derived from Sanskrit Ajita (अजित), meaning 'unconquered, invincible'.

Used across India and Sri Lanka in Hindi, Tamil, Sinhala, and other languages, Ajith rose in general use during the 20th century and gained pop-culture visibility through figures such as Tamil actor Ajith Kumar. Common variants and spellings include Ajit/Ajeet (North Indian), Ajeith/Ajeeth and Ajithan (Tamil forms), and the related Sanskrit Ajita; feminine counterparts are Ajitha/Ajeetha. The name signals resilience and fearlessness, one who cannot be subdued, making it a favored choice in South Asia and the diaspora.
