Divit is most often read as ‘heavenly’, but its derivation remains unverified. One proposed connection uses Sanskrit div or dyu, ‘sky’ or ‘heaven’, elements related to documented words such as divya, ‘divine’. The consulted dictionaries do not establish Divit as a form carrying that meaning. ‘Immortal’, another interpretation offered for it, is also unsupported here. The celestial sense is the popular association rather than a dictionary definition.
No dictionary entry documents this spelling with that sense, so the meaning above is the one families use, not a dictionary definition. How we use sources.
Spelling and pronunciation
दिवित is read di-vit, in two syllables with short i vowels. Divith is another Roman spelling, using th for a t made near the teeth rather than English th. The v may sound between English v and w. Divitt also appears, though the Devanagari has one final t.
Also spelled Divith.
