Jasdeep meaning
Jasdeep (ਜਸਦੀਪ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Jas, praise and glory, joined with dīp, a lamp
Also used to mean: lamp radiating God's glories
Jasdeep (ਜਸਦੀਪ) joins jas, praise and renown, with dīp, a lamp. The Mahan Kosh gives jas as praise and honour, from Sanskrit yaśas, and traces dīp to a root meaning "to shine". Put together, the name is a lamp of glory, and Sikh name lists read it as the lamp that radiates God's glories, since jas in Gurbani so often means the praise of God, as in the phrase ਹਰਿ ਜਸੁ on Ang 22. It is given to boys and girls.
