Origin

Punjabi (India/Pakistan)

Meaning

a Punjabi Sikh unisex name meaning supreme victory or the highest victory — Param meaning supreme, highest, and the absolute — from the Sanskrit parama meaning ultimate — and jit meaning victory, conquest, and the triumph that comes through devotion, righteousness, and the grace of the Guru; in Sikh theology the supreme victory is not military or worldly triumph but the inner victory of the self over ego — haumai — the conquering of self-centredness through devotion to the divine and immersion in the Guru's teachings; Paramjit thus names the aspiration for the highest form of success — spiritual liberation — rather than merely worldly achievement, though the name is given with the understanding that such inner victory will also manifest as worldly dignity and success
