Khushdeep meaning
Khushdeep (ਖੁਸ਼ਦੀਪ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin, also used for girls.
Khush, happy and joyful, joined with dīp, a lamp
Also used to mean: light of happiness
Khushdeep (ਖੁਸ਼ਦੀਪ) joins khush, happy, with dīp, a lamp. The Mahan Kosh gives khush, a Persian word, as pleased, happy and joyful, and also as good or fine; the related noun ਖੁਸੀ, happiness, appears in the Guru Granth Sahib on Ang 15. Dīp is a lamp, from a root meaning "to shine". Name lists give Khushdeep as the light of happiness or a joyful lamp. It is chiefly a boys' name, though girls also carry it.
