Jaspal meaning
Jaspal (ਜਸਪਾਲ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin, also used for girls.
Jas, praise and renown, joined with pāl, protector
Also used to mean: protector of glory
Jaspal (ਜਸਪਾਲ) joins jas, praise, renown and honour, with pāl, a protector. The Mahan Kosh gives jas from Sanskrit yaśas, and pāl from a Sanskrit root meaning to nourish and protect. The name therefore means one who guards honour and good name, and name lists render it as protector of glory. It is the Punjabi form of the Hindi name Yashpal. Mostly given to boys, it has been carried by the satirist Jaspal Bhatti and the shooter Jaspal Rana.
