The word "rohit" signifies the color red. It is derived from
Sanskrit, meaning "the first rays of the sun". The early morning sunlight usually has a reddish tint. It is also said to be derived from the Sanskrit word Rohitah (रोहित:) which signifies a red-coloured deer – a form which
Brahma once took. Sanskrit pronunciation:[ˈɽoːɦɪtɐ].[2]
Rohit is also one of the names of the Hindu God
Vishnu when he is said to have first arrived on earth as a beautiful red fish. It appears in the
Vishnu Sahasranam (विष्णु सहस्रणाम, "1000 names of Vishnu"). Rohit also means a person who leads his family to growth and development (a commonly held belief in Hindu families). Rohit was also the name of one of
Krishna's sons.
