Karamjit meaning
Karamjit (ਕਰਮਜੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Victory (jīt) through karam, grace; or victory of deeds
Also used to mean: victorious through grace, victory of action
Karamjit (ਕਰਮਜੀਤ) joins karam with jīt, victory. Karam is a word with two histories, and the Mahan Kosh records both: as Arabic karam it means generosity, grace and kindness, and as Sanskrit karma it means action or deed. In Sikh usage the first sense is strong; in the Japji on Ang 8, Guru Nanak names ਕਰਮ ਖੰਡ, the realm of grace. Name lists therefore give Karamjit as victorious through grace, while some read it as victory of action. It is given to boys and girls.
