Etymology
An invented Indian-sounding given name, originating from the Pajeet, my son meme created on the 4chan message board /int/ in July 2015, mocking South Asians. This was itself inspired by the Mehmet, my son meme, popularized on /int/ in late 2014, which mocked Turkish people. Although the name does not exist in South Asia, similar-sounding names exist, especially in the Indian state of Punjab. It is likely derived from Punjabi ਭਾਜੀ (bhājī) / بھاجی (bhājī, “elder brother”), as well as from Punjabi male names ending with the suffix Hindi जीत (jīt, “victory”), such as Baljeet and Sanjeet.
