Himmat is a name of Arabic and Persian origin, meaning "courage," "determination," or "ambition," and it is also used in Punjabi and Urdu with the same sense of inner strength. Among notable bearers, Himmat Singh is an Indian cricketer who has played for Delhi and the Rajasthan Royals, while the name appears in Indian cinema as a character in several films. There are no direct place connections, though the root shares its meaning with the word "himmat" found across South Asian languages. A further note: Himmat is a unisex name
