Kuljit meaning
Kuljit (ਕੁਲਜੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Jīt, victory, of the kul, family
Also used to mean: victorious lineage
Kuljit (ਕੁਲਜੀਤ) joins kul, family or lineage, with jīt, victory. The Mahan Kosh defines kul as a race, lineage and line of descent, and also as a household, and jīt as victory. The name thus means the victory or pride of a family, and name lists give it as a victorious lineage or one who brings honour to the family. Kuljeet is another spelling. It is given to both boys and girls.
