# Amit

Amit is a Hindu and Jewish given name.
In Hindi, Amit (Hindi: अमित, means "infinite" or "boundless", Bengali: অমিত) originates from the Sanskrit word amita (अमित:), amita (अमित:) essentially is the negation of mita (मित), which means "to measure".
In Hebrew, Amit (Hebrew: עמית) means "friend", "colleague", ״peer”, or "member of the organization". The word appears in the Bible twelve times, mostly in Leviticus. Though traditionally a common male name, 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.
