Jasreet meaning
Jasreet (ਜਸਰੀਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Jas (praise, renown) joined with rīt (way, manner)
Jasreet (ਜਸਰੀਤ) joins jas, praise or renown, with rīt, a way or custom. Jas comes from Sanskrit yaśas and appears in Guru Nanak's Japji as ਜਸੁ, in the phrase jas kīrat, praise and glory (Ang 2). Rīt, Sanskrit rīti, is entered in the Mahan Kosh as a method or way, and also as nature and disposition; in Gurbani it can mean the way or order of things, as on Ang 44, where all things are said to be held in their order by the One. Read together, the name means "the way of praise". It is a modern name given to girls in Sikh families, like Manreet and Navreet. The whole name is not a dictionary headword; its meaning comes from its two parts.
