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'. 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.
