Jagmeet meaning
Jagmeet (ਜਗਮੀਤ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
Mīt, friend, of the jag, world
Jagmeet (ਜਗਮੀਤ) joins jag, the world, with mīt, a friend. The Mahan Kosh traces jag to Sanskrit jagat, the world and its people, and mīt to Sanskrit mitra, a friend, noting that in Gurbani the word can also mean the Creator, the truest friend. Read together, the name means friend of the world, and name lists agree. It is a boys' name, best known through the Canadian politician Jagmeet Singh, who led the New Democratic Party and has written that his name means a friend to the world.
