Vishwajeet (Sanskrit: विश्वजीत; Bengali: বিশ্বজিৎ) is an Indian masculine name of Indo-Aryan origin. In the Sanskrit language, vishwa means 'universe' and jeet means 'victory'. Thereby, Vishwajeet can be loosely translated as 'conqueror of the universe'.[1] It is also the name of an ancient yajna (sacrifice) mentioned in the Vedas, performed by brahmins (the highest of the four Hindu castes) upon the victory of a monarch in war.[2]
