Simranjit is a unisex given name of Punjabi origin, derived from the Sanskrit word 'Simar' meaning 'repeated'. It is composed of two elements: 'Sima', which signifies 'the good fortune of being together', and 'Rajit', meaning 'to be occupied or possessed'. Thus, Simranjit can be interpreted as 'possessing or occupied with good fortune'. This name has gained popularity due to its unique sound and meaningful origin.
The name Simranjit saw a peak in popularity between 1997 and 2004 with consistently high numbers of births each year, ranging from 7 to 11 births annually. However, there was a notable gap in reported births between 2000 and 2001, with no recorded births in the year 2000. After 2006, there were no reported births for eight years until 2013, when five babies named Simranjit were born. Overall, a total of 70 children named Simranjit were born over this 18-year period.
