History & Origin

Mohit entered American records in the mid nineteen-seventies with Indian immigration, and reached its quiet high around 1996.

It was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its peak, though its use spanned several decades. A boy named Mohit then would be around fifty today. The name is short, warm, and well established across India.

Did you know? The root moh, to enchant, also lies behind the name of the deity Mohini; Mohit carries the sense of one who charms or is charmed, a warm and popular meaning in India.
