Ajita is Sanskrit in Origin.

Ajita is the modern Roman spelling of Sanskrit Ajitā or Ajita, from the adjective ajita अजित, the earliest recoverable form. It is built from the privative prefix a-, not, and jita, the past participle of the root √ji, to conquer or win. Its literal sense is unconquered, unsubdued, or not overcome; the feminine personal name is formally Ajitā, though final long ā is often written as a in English.

In classical Sanskrit and Pali sources, Ajita appears as an epithet and personal name: Vishnu and Shiva may be called Ajita, Jain tradition gives Ajitanātha as the second Tirthankara, and Buddhist texts use Ajita for figures associated with Maitreya. As a modern given name it belongs chiefly to South Asian Hindu, Jain, and Buddhist naming repertoires, with spellings such as Ajeeta and Ajitha reflecting transliteration or regional pronunciation. In U.S. records it is very rare and registered mainly for girls.
