Banipreet meaning
Banipreet (ਬਾਣੀਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin.
Bāṇī (the Gurus' hymns) joined with prīti (love)
Banipreet (ਬਾਣੀਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins bāṇī, the word or hymns of the Gurus, with prīt, love. The Mahan Kosh gives bāṇī as speech, utterance and composition, and the srigranth dictionary adds hymn and Gurbani; prīt is love, as on Ang 82 of the Guru Granth Sahib. The name reads "love of the sacred word", and a Sikh name list gives "love for divine hymns". It is a modern name, given mostly to girls.
