The word Rohit at its root signifies the colour red.
* It is derived from Sanskrit, it means the "First rays of the sun". The early morning sunlight usually has a lot of 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.
* Rohit is also one of the names of the Hindu God Vishnu, when He first arrived on earth as a beautiful red fish. It appears in the Vishnu Sahasranaam (विष्णु सहस्रणाम, "1000 names of Vishnu").
Rohit also means a person who leads to growth and development of his family.
