Dheerit (धीरित, IAST: dhīrita) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Steadied; the well-composed one”. Past participle of dhīra (steady, wise) — one who has become steady.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Dheerit (धीरित) is the past participle form of dhīra — "made steady, well-composed." The Bhagavad Gita 2.15 defines the dhīra as the one whom pleasure and pain do not disturb. Dheerit names this state as already attained — the steadied one.

The name implies a settled inner composure — not naturally born steady but having become steady through practice. A child named Dheerit is named with this earned-equanimity quality.
