Dikshith is Sanskrit in Origin.

Dikshith is an Indian given name from the Sanskrit Dīkṣita (दीक्षित), meaning “initiated, consecrated,” ultimately from dīkṣā, the rite of initiation or taking a vow. It is used chiefly for boys in contemporary India, especially in southern states, though the related feminine form Dikshita is common and the name can be interpreted as unisex in modern usage.

In earlier usage, Dīkṣita functioned as a title for those initiated into Vedic or temple service and became a hereditary surname in several Brahmin communities - rendered as Dikshit or Dixit in the north and Deekshith/Deekshit or Dikshitar in the south. The x in Dixit reflects the Sanskrit consonant cluster kṣ. As a given name, Dikshith gained traction in the late 20th and early 21st centuries alongside other Sanskrit revival names. Variants include Dikshit, Dixit, Deekshith, Deekshit, Diksit, and the feminine Dikshita; related regional forms include the Tamil priestly title Dīkṣitar.
