Govindit (गोविन्दित, IAST: govindita) is a Sanskrit-origin Hindu boy-name meaning “Filled with Govinda; immersed in Krishna”. Past participle from Govinda (Krishna) — one suffused with the lord.

Meaning, etymology & significance

Govindit (गोविन्दित) is built from Govinda — one of the most beloved names of Krishna (the cowherd, the lord of cows) — with the past participle ending. The literal sense is "filled with Govinda, suffused with Krishna."

The image is of a bhakta whose every cell is full of Krishna-remembrance. The Bhagavata Purana describes such bhaktas as "Govinda-mantra" — those whose very breathing has become a continuous remembrance.
