Jasvinder meaning
Jasvinder (ਜਸਵਿੰਦਰ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Jas, praise and renown, with -inder, from Indra, 'supreme'
Also used to mean: lord's glory
Jasvinder (ਜਸਵਿੰਦਰ), also spelled Jaswinder, joins jas, praise and renown, with the ending -vinder found in many Punjabi names. That ending is usually traced to inder, Indra, which the Mahan Kosh gives as a king, the Lord of the world and, as an adjective, supreme or best. Read that way, the name means supreme in renown. Name lists often give "the Lord's glory", taking inder as the Lord. No dictionary explains the -v- before the ending, so neither reading is certain. It is given to both boys and girls.
