Meaning of Adit

I didn't think 'Adit' was an uncommon name, but have received several queries about its meaning.

    Adit: pronounced as ädit, and means

  1. The first

  2. The Sun

The second meaning is the same as the longer version, Aditya. According to my mother, Adit is the prakrit version of Aditya which is a sanskrit word. We liked the shorter version better.

here in the US - the 'tya' in aditya is generally pronounced as 'cha' or 'chya' - life will be easier for your kid, he will be spared the effort of having to clarify the pronunciation, or having to endure it from being brutally massacred :) (exaggerating it a little bit ofcourse!)
