Japleen meaning
Japleen (ਜਪਲੀਨ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Absorbed (līn) in jap, the repetition of God's Name
Japleen (ਜਪਲੀਨ) joins jap with līn, absorbed. Jap is the repetition of God's Name, aloud, whispered or silently in the mind, as the Mahan Kosh explains; the opening composition of the Guru Granth Sahib is the Japu, or Japji, which runs from Ang 1 to Ang 8. Līn, from Sanskrit līna, means absorbed or merged, and the Mahan Kosh illustrates this sense with a verse of Guru Tegh Bahadur in Raag Gauri. The name therefore means "absorbed in meditation on the Name". It is a modern name for girls in Sikh families, built like Jasleen, Harleen and Prabhleen. The whole name is not a dictionary headword; its meaning comes from its two parts.
