It has steady use across India - especially in Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam communities - since the mid-20th century, and appears in the global diaspora. Variants include Sujita (Devanagari सुजीता), Sujeeta/Sujeetha, and the related masculine forms Sujit/Sujeet. Nicknames include Suji and Jitha. Meaning shades range from “victorious” and “well-won” to the ethical ideal of one who has “conquered” the senses, echoing classical Sanskrit usage in compounds like jitendriya.
