Harpreet meaning
Harpreet (ਹਰਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Love for God (Hari)
Harpreet (ਹਰਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins har(i), which the Mahan Kosh lists among many senses as the Creator and Supreme Lord, with prīt, from Sanskrit prīti, "love". The phrase hari prīti, love for God, occurs often in the Guru Granth Sahib, first in Guru Ram Das's verse at Ang 82 and again at Ang 233, so the name echoes a familiar line of devotion. Baby-name lists render it "one who loves God" or "God's love", matching the sources. A few explain har through the Hindi sense "every, all", giving "love for all", but the scriptural phrase supports "love for God". Harpreet is given to both girls and boys, with Kaur or Singh showing which, and it pairs naturally with Gurpreet and Dilpreet.
