About the name Amrit

Amrit is the drink churned from the ocean in the Puranas, the same word that gave Greek its ambrosia through a shared root. Punjabi families use the unmarked form for daughters as much as sons, and the feminine Amrita is a preference rather than a rule.

Amrit is a unisex name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced UM-rit. On the NameRarity scale it scores 87 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1950s.
