Amandeep meaning
Amandeep (ਅਮਨਦੀਪ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Aman (peace, ease) joined with dīp (lamp)
Also used to mean: light of peace, lamp of peace
Amandeep (ਅਮਨਦੀਪ) joins two words used across Punjabi. Aman comes from Arabic amn, and the Mahan Kosh gives its senses as peace, rest and ease. Dīp is a lamp, from a Sanskrit root meaning to shine; Guru Nanak uses it on Ang 57 of the Guru Granth Sahib, where the sun and moon are called matchless lamps. Read together, the name means "lamp of peace", and name lists give "light of peace", which is the same idea. Amandeep is used in Sikh and Punjabi families and is given to both boys and girls, with Singh or Kaur showing which.
