Ishpreet meaning
Ishpreet (ਈਸ਼ਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Prīt, love, for īś, the Lord
Ishpreet (ਈਸ਼ਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a modern name on the pattern of Gurpreet and Harpreet, with īś in the place of gur or har. The Mahan Kosh takes īs from Sanskrit īśa and defines it as lord and master and as the Creator; the word appears in the Guru Granth Sahib, for example on Ang 925. Prīt is love, a word that runs through Gurbani as love for God. Name lists give Ishpreet as love of God or God's love, which matches the parts. It is used for both girls and boys.
