Amardeep meaning
Amardeep (ਅਮਰਦੀਪ) is a Sikh and Hindu boy's name of Punjabi origin.
Amar (immortal) joined with dīp (lamp, light)
Amardeep (ਅਮਰਦੀਪ) joins amar with dīp. Amar is deathless or immortal, from Sanskrit amara, and the Mahan Kosh also gives it as unshakeable; the word appears in the Guru Granth Sahib on Ang 63. Dīp is a lamp, from a root meaning to shine. The name therefore means an undying lamp, and name lists give it as "eternal light" or "immortal light". Amardeep is given mainly to boys in Sikh and Punjabi Hindu families, and occasionally to girls. It is also spelled Amardip, and it belongs to the large family of Punjabi names ending in -deep, such as Sandeep, Mandeep and Hardeep.
