Hi Chinani I don't know if you've got the meaninig of the name Ejitu. If not here it is: "Ejitu" means literally: to hold a while. This could be a form of "Ejituruchukwu" - holding a while for God - referring to God as the source of life. Hence keeping, holding, taking care of this life - the child - for a while before God takes it back. Such a name can arise from a situation where the parents have lost one or more children before. A similar name but with a different reference is: "Njikwiilimonwu", Ejituruonwu" meaning "may I hold this (child) for a while for death. The above meaning applies if the emphasis is laid on the three syllables: É-jí-tú. If the emphasis is on the first two syllables (É-jí-tu) with the Ejitu as a name on its own, then it could mean: (Someone) Indomitable, impossible to hold. I hope this is of help to you.
