Granit is a unique and distinctive given name of Albanian origin, derived from the word 'granit' meaning 'granite'. It was popularized by the famous Albanian writer Ismail Kadare, who used it as a protagonist's name in his novel "The General of the Dead Army". The name Granit is typically associated with strength, resilience, and endurance, much like the stone after which it is named. In recent years, it has gained international recognition due to the success of footballer Granit Xhaka, who plays for Arsenal FC and the Swiss national team.
"Granit saw five newborns in 2023, with a total of five born over time."
