History & Origin

Sumeet is a variant spelling of Sumit, a Sanskrit name built on su-, 'good,' with a second element read as friend or well-measured. Widely used among Hindu and Sikh families in India and its diaspora, it reaches United States records mainly through Indian immigrant families rather than any English-language trend.

In American data it appears from the mid-nineteen-seventies with a slim high around 1984, always uncommon. A boy named Sumeet then is in his forties today.

Did you know? The su- that opens Sumeet is a Sanskrit prefix meaning 'good' or 'well,' the same element found in names like Sunil and Sujata across the Indian subcontinent.
