Bhagwant meaning
Bhagwant (ਭਗਵੰਤ) is a Sikh boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Punjabi usage).
Fortunate, blessed; as a noun, the Lord, the Creator
Also used to mean: blessed by God
Bhagwant (ਭਗਵੰਤ) is related to Bhagwan, God, and the Mahan Kosh refers its entry to that word. As an adjective it means fortunate or prosperous; as a noun it is the Creator. The Guru Granth Sahib uses bhagvantā of the Lord and of his devotees, for example on Ang 11 in a hymn of Guru Ram Das. Name lists give "blessed by God" or "fortunate", which match the dictionary. It is mostly a man's name; Bhagwant Mann, who became Chief Minister of Punjab in 2022, is the best-known bearer.
