Amanjot meaning
Amanjot (ਅਮਨਜੋਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Aman (peace) joined with jot (light, divine light)
Also used to mean: light of peace
Amanjot (ਅਮਨਜੋਤ) pairs aman, which the Mahan Kosh gives as peace, rest and ease (from Arabic amn), with jot, light. In Sikh usage jot also means the divine light present in every being, as in Guru Nanak's Aarti on Ang 13 of the Guru Granth Sahib. Name lists give "light of peace", in line with the parts. Amanjot is given to girls and boys; the all-rounder Amanjot Kaur, who plays cricket for India, is a well-known bearer.
