Gaganpreet meaning
Gaganpreet (ਗਗਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Gagan (sky) joined with prīti (love)
Also used to mean: one who loves the sky
Gaganpreet (ਗਗਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins gagan, the sky, with prīt, love. The Mahan Kosh gives gagan as the sky or firmament and, figuratively, the all-pervading Creator, and the word opens Guru Nanak's Aarti on Ang 13 of the Guru Granth Sahib, where the sky is the platter of worship. Name lists give "one who loves the sky". The name is used for both boys and girls, alongside Gagandeep.
