Jashanpreet meaning
Jashanpreet (ਜਸ਼ਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Jashan, a feast or celebration, joined with prīt, love
Also used to mean: celebration of love, joyful love
Jashanpreet (ਜਸ਼ਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins two words for happy things. Jashan is the Punjabi form of Persian jashn, which Steingass's Persian dictionary gives as a feast, a convivial gathering or a solemn festival; in Punjabi it is the everyday word for a celebration. Preet is love, as in Gurpreet and Harpreet. Name lists explain the whole as joyful love or a celebration of love. It is a modern name used for both boys and girls, and is often shortened to Jashan.
