Charanpreet meaning
Charanpreet (ਚਰਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Charan (the Lord's or Guru's feet) joined with prīti (love)
Also used to mean: love for the Lord's feet
Charanpreet (ਚਰਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins charan, feet, with prīt, love. In the Guru Granth Sahib the feet of the Guru or of God are an image of humble devotion: Guru Nanak speaks of a mind drawn to the Lord's feet on Ang 13, and the phrase gur charaṇī appears on Ang 26. Sikh name lists give "love for the Lord's feet", a devotional reading of the two parts. It is used for girls and boys.
