Etymology

Dixit is a common Indian family name that comes from the Sanskrit word dīkṣita, often written Dikshit, meaning 'initiated' or 'given a religious ceremony'. It was a title for someone with special training for religious duties, so the name often shows a family with a priestly or learned background.
