Meaning not confirmed
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself.
Harneet (ਹਰਨੀਤ) is a modern Punjabi name, given mostly to girls in Sikh families. Its first part is clear: har is the form of hari, God, that opens many Sikh names. The ending, shared with Navneet and Japneet, is less certain. It is often linked with nīti, which the Mahan Kosh defines as right conduct, the way that keeps a person on the right path. No source records how the name was formed, and name lists explain it in many ways, from "God's gift" to "one who follows the path of truth", so we give no meaning for the whole.
