Kanwarjit is Punjabi in Origin.
Kanwarjit is a masculine Punjabi/Sikh compound name formed from Kanwar (also Kunwar), a North Indian term for “prince” from Sanskrit kumāra, and -jit (or -jeet) from Sanskrit jita, “victorious, conquered.” Together it conveys the sense of “victorious prince” or “the prince who prevails,” a regal, aspirational meaning typical of Sikh and North Indian name-building.
Usage is centered in Punjabi-speaking communities in India and the diaspora (UK, Canada, US), and appears in full forms like Kanwarjit Singh. The element -jit is a popular Sikh suffix found in Manjit, Inderjit, and Harjit, while Kanwar/Kunwar also functions as a standalone given name and as a Rajput honorific. Spelling variants include Kanwarjeet, Kunwarjit, and Kunwarjeet; short forms include Kanwar and Jeet. Related cognates by etymology include Kumarjit. Though traditional in feel, the name’s compound form suggests widespread 20th‑century adoption.
