Amarjot meaning
Amarjot (ਅਮਰਜੋਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Amar (immortal) joined with jot (light, divine light)
Also used to mean: immortal light, eternal light
Amarjot (ਅਮਰਜੋਤ) joins amar, "deathless, immortal", with jot, light. The Mahan Kosh gives jot (ਜੋਤਿ) a range of senses from ordinary light to the divine light and the light of the soul, and the word runs through Guru Nanak's Aarti on Ang 13 of the Guru Granth Sahib. Name lists give "immortal light" or "eternal light", which matches the parts. The name is used for both boys and girls.
