Ikjot meaning
Ikjot (ਇਕਜੋਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Ik, the One, joined with jot, light: the one divine light
Also used to mean: one light, God's light
Ikjot (ਇਕਜੋਤ) joins ik, one, with jot, light. The Mahan Kosh gives ik not only as the number one but as unique and unrivalled, and as the Creator, the sense it carries in ੴ, Ik Onkar, at the opening of the Guru Granth Sahib. Jot is jyoti, light, and in Gurbani the divine light present in every being. Guru Amar Das speaks of ਏਕ ਜੋਤਿ, one light in two forms, on Ang 30. Sikh name lists give Ikjot as the One light, God's light. It is used for boys and girls; Ekjot is another spelling.
