Harmanjot meaning
Harmanjot (ਹਰਮਨਜੋਤ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin, also used for girls.
Har(i), God, man, the mind or heart, and jot, divine light
Also used to mean: light of God
Harmanjot (ਹਰਮਨਜੋਤ) joins three parts. Har(i) is one of the commonest names for God in the Guru Granth Sahib, and the Mahan Kosh lists the Creator among its many senses. Man is the mind or heart, and jot is light, including the divine light that the Gurus see in every being; on Ang 13 the scripture says that the one Light is within all. Read together, the name means God's light in the heart, and name lists usually give it simply as "light of God". Its first part, Harman, is also used as a name by itself. Harmanjot is a modern Sikh boys' name; the footballer Harmanjot Singh Khabra is a well-known bearer.
