Paramjit is a Punjabi/Sikh given name from Sanskrit components param (“supreme, ultimate”) and jita/jit (“victorious, conquered”), yielding the sense “supreme victory” or “one victorious through the Supreme (God).” In Gurmukhi it is written ਪਰਮਜੀਤ and in Devanagari परमजीत. The name is unisex within Sikh tradition, though more frequently borne by men, and emphasizes moral and spiritual triumph rather than martial conquest.

Used across Punjab and the diaspora since at least the early 20th century, Paramjit reflects the Sikh practice of forming names from devotional vocabulary found in Gurbani and classical Sanskrit. Common variant spellings include Paramjeet; diminutives may be Param or Jit. In formal Sikh naming patterns it is often paired with Singh (masculine) or Kaur (feminine): e.g., Paramjit Singh, Paramjit Kaur. Related names sharing elements include Paramvir (“supreme hero”) and Pramjit/Parmajit as rare transliterations.
