In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Guneet (ਗੁਨੀਤ) is a modern Punjabi name, given mostly to girls. Its first part is usually taken as guṇ, which the Mahan Kosh gives as virtue, good quality and skill, and which the Guru Granth Sahib uses from its first page. The ending is explained differently on different lists, as nīti, "conduct", or as a suffix meaning "having", and no dictionary records the name, so we give no meaning. Name lists usually say "virtuous". The film producer Guneet Monga, whose The Elephant Whisperers won an Oscar in 2023, is a well-known bearer.
