Kiranpreet meaning
Kiranpreet (ਕਿਰਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Kiraṇ (a ray of light) joined with prīt (love)
Kiranpreet (ਕਿਰਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins kiraṇ, a ray of light, with prīt, love. Kiraṇ comes from Sanskrit kiraṇa, and the Mahan Kosh gives it as a ray of light and also as the sun. Prīt, Sanskrit prīti, is love and delight; the Guru Granth Sahib often speaks of prīt for God, as in man prīt, love held in the mind (Ang 82). The name reads "a ray of love" or "love and light". It is a Punjabi name used for girls in Sikh families, one of the many names ending in -preet such as Harpreet and Manpreet.
