Khushpreet meaning
Khushpreet (ਖੁਸ਼ਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Khush, happy and joyful, joined with prīt, love
Also used to mean: loving and delightful
Khushpreet (ਖੁਸ਼ਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins khush with prīt. Khush is a Persian word that the Mahan Kosh glosses as pleased, happy, joyful and delighted, and also as good or fine; the related noun ਖੁਸੀ, happiness, appears in the Guru Granth Sahib, for example on Ang 15. Prīt is love. Together they describe a joyful, loving nature, and Sikh name lists give Khushpreet as loving and delightful. It is a modern Punjabi name given to both girls and boys.
