Meaning not confirmed
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself.
Gurneet (ਗੁਰਨੀਤ) is a modern Punjabi name, given mostly to girls. Its first part is gur, the Guru. The ending -neet, shared with names such as Japneet and Avneet, is often explained as nīti, which the Mahan Kosh gives as right conduct and principle, but no source records how the name was formed. Name lists give several different meanings, such as "the Guru's moral values", "through the Guru's grace" and "one who sings praises", so we do not give a meaning.
