Amit name meaning
“boundless; friend, companion”

What does Amit mean?
Boundless; friend, companion
In Turkish: sınırsız; arkadaş, yoldaş
Amit has meaningful uses in two independent naming traditions. The Sanskrit interpretation concerns being without limit or measure, while the Hebrew interpretation concerns friendship and companionship. Resemblance to the Turkish chemical term does not explain the personal name, and the supplied variant Amid requires its own examination.
