Manmeet meaning
Manmeet (ਮਨਮੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Mīt, a friend, of the man, mind or heart
Also used to mean: friend of the heart, companion of the mind
Manmeet (ਮਨਮੀਤ) joins man, the mind or heart, with mīt, a friend. The Mahan Kosh gives man as the mind and inner self, and mīt as a friend, from Sanskrit mitra, noting that in Gurbani the friend can be the Creator. The two words stand together in a hymn of Guru Arjan on Ang 187, which tells the mind to make the beloved Lord its friend. Name lists give Manmeet as friend of the heart or companion of the mind. It is used for both boys and girls.
