Amit is a common male name, in India, Nepal and Israel.
In Nepali, Sanskrit, Hindi, and Bengali, Amit (Hindi: अमित, Bengali: অমিত) means infinite or immeasurable or limitless or boundless. It is the wordstem root of the Amitabha Buddha and one of the 108 names of Hindu God Shri Ganesha. It also means an eternal friend of everyone in Hindi, Nepali and Sanskrit
In Hebrew, Amit (Hebrew: עמית) means colleague, friend. The word appears in the Bible in a context vaguely suggesting such a meaning. However, Even-Shoshan dictionary suggests a Roman source (esp. French: Ami). Though traditionally a common male name, it is being increasingly used as a female name in Israel. Nevertheless, it is still among most popular names given to Jewish boys in Israel.
A-mei or A-Mei (Chinese: 阿妹, p Āmèi), stylized as a MEI since 2014, is the stage name of the aboriginal Taiwanese pop singer and songwriter Chang Hui-mei (t 張惠妹, s 张惠妹). Born as Amit Kulilay (transcribed as t 阿密特·古歷來, s 阿密特·古历来) in the rugged mountains of eastern Taiwan, A-mei is the seventh-oldest in a family of nine children. She made her debut in the world of music in 1996, achieving rapid commercial success. She has been called a diva of the Mandarin pop music scene and the "Pride of Taiwan". She has won numerous music awards and is popular within the Mandarin-speaking world.
A-Mei was born in Beinan Township, Taitung County. She is a member of the Puyuma nation. Like most Taiwanese aborigines, she was exposed to tribal music during her childhood. Her mother used to record herself singing, then play back the tape for her daughters to hear. A-mei had always been fascinated by music; she once said that she stuck to the radio and would rush to watch the late night music program introducing English songs when she was a little girl. She also showed great eagerness to perform in public, even forcing her friends to listen to her sing.
AMIT (Hebrew acronym for Organization for Volunteers for Judaism and Torah) is an American Jewish religious Zionist volunteer organization, dedicated to education in Israel and nurturing Israeli children to become productive, contributing members of society. AMIT operates more than 110 schools and programs providing religious Jewish education while incorporating academic and technological studies.
AMIT was founded on May 10, 1925 by Bessie Gotsfeld, and was then known as the Mizrachi Women's Organization of America. It officially incorporated on October 2, 1930. As early as 1934, AMIT was at the forefront of Youth children from Europe and their resettlement in Palestine. In the years ahead, and immediately following the end of the war in Europe, AMIT participated in the resettlement of thousands of children — many of them orphans — who survived the Holocaust.
The survivors of the Holocaust were followed by the large influx of Jews from North Africa and the Arab countries in 1948-49. Again, AMIT's resources were tested as its facilities were flooded by the pressing needs of tens of thousands of newly arrived immigrant children. In 1955, the first contingent of Ethiopian Jews arrived and in the 1970s, the great Russian immigration began. With each new development in Israel's history AMIT responded, opening new schools and facilities to meet the demands of a growing population of children in need.

Unholy is an independent film about Nazi mysticism starring Adrienne Barbeau and Nicholas Brendon. It was written by Samuel Stephen Freeman, directed by Daryl Goldberg, and produced by Sky Whisper Productions. Its release on DVD was on September 4, 2007. The movie is alleged to be based on fact, and was produced to document the facts surrounding the experiments in mysticism.
The film deals with a grieving mother, Martha (Barbeau), trying to uncover the terrifying secret jeopardizing her family. With her son (Brendon), Martha becomes entwined in a conspiracy involving a fabled witch, Nazi occultists, and the United States of America (U.S.) government.
The film purports to be inspired by an actual military document. The document is viewable on the movie's website by simply clicking on the interactive image of the document. Following World War II, a classified U.S. military document was uncovered that recounted a Nazi experiment of an occult nature smuggled into an underground facility in Downingtown, Pennsylvania. The film's website purports to "have provided the only known copy of a portion of that document ... we strongly advise that you do not download it;" however, the document can be found on the same website.
