Karandeep meaning
Karandeep (ਕਰਨਦੀਪ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
Karan (doer, cause; also Karna) joined with dīp, a lamp
Karandeep (ਕਰਨਦੀਪ) joins karan with dīp, a lamp. The Mahan Kosh gives karan (ਕਰਣ) as a cause or doer, a sense heard in the Gurbani phrase ਕਰਣ ਕਾਰਣ, the doer and cause of all, and also as Karna, the son of Kunti in the Mahabharata. Dīp is a lamp, from a root meaning "to shine". Name lists explain the whole name in many ways, from "lamp of generosity" to "ray of light", none of them widely shared, so we give only the meanings of the parts. It is mainly a boys' name.
