  1. jag = short for 'world'

    jiit = short for 'conqueror'


  2. ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ

    ਜਗੁ "jag" means "world" or "ocean".

    ਜੀਤੁ "jit" means "victory," "win," "conquer", "triumph".

    Put together, Jagjit or Jagjeet is "conquer the world".  The phrase is known from a saying in Punjabi (from a Pauri in Japji Sahib), ਮਨਿ ਜੀਤੈ ਜਗੁ ਜੀਤੁ (man jīṯai jag jīṯ), meaning "conquer your mind to conquer the world".
