Kuljit is a Punjabi and Sikh given name derived from Sanskrit kula (family, clan) + jita/jeet (conquered, victorious), yielding the meaning “victory of the family” or “one who brings triumph to the lineage.” It is commonly written in Gurmukhi as ਕੁਲਜੀਤ and in Devanagari as कुलजीत, and pronounced kul-JEET.

Within Punjabi-speaking communities, especially among Sikhs, Kuljit has been in steady use since the early 20th century, reflecting the tradition of virtue-based, theologically inflected names. In practice, it often appears with community surnames - Kuljit Singh for men and Kuljit Kaur for women. The name travelled widely with the Punjabi diaspora and is familiar in the UK, Canada, and East Africa; a notable bearer is British musician Kuljit Bhamra, which underscores its cross-cultural presence.
