Sujit Roy is Indian in Origin.

Sujit is an Indian masculine given name from Sanskrit su- (“good, noble”) + jita (“conquered, victorious”), conveying “well-victorious,” “nobly triumphant,” and by extension “self-disciplined” (one who has conquered the self). It gained broad use across the 20th century in Hindu and other Indian communities, especially in Bengal, Odisha, and Maharashtra. Common variants and transliterations include Sujeet (Hindi-influenced), Sujith (South Indian), with feminine forms Sujita/Sujitha.

Roy is a Bengali-leaning surname, an anglicized form of Rai/Rāi, ultimately related to Sanskrit rāja (“king”), historically used as an honorific for officials, landholders, and literate castes in eastern India. In Bengal it alternates with the variant Ray; Rai is widespread across North India. This Indian Roy is distinct from the Scottish/Irish Roy (“red-haired”). Together, Sujit Roy pairs a Sanskritic virtue-name with a historically titled Bengali surname.
