Samrat is an Indian given name of Sanskrit origin, meaning 'emperor'. It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Samrajya', which translates to 'empire' or 'rule'. Historically, it has been used as a royal title in India, but today, it is also employed as a personal name. Samrat gained popularity due to figures like Samrat Chaudhary, a Nepalese politician, and Samrat Prithviraj Chauhan, a Rajput king known for his bravery.
