Mannat meaning
Mannat (ਮੰਨਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin.
A vow to make an offering when a wish is granted; worship
Also used to mean: prayer
Mannat (ਮੰਨਤ) is the Punjabi word for a vow made in hope. The Mahan Kosh, under ਮੰਨਤਾ, gives three senses: worship, the act of accepting something, and a vow to make an offering if a wish is fulfilled. In everyday speech a mannat is just that, a heartfelt wish or prayer with a promise attached. Name lists give it as wish or prayer. The word does not appear in the Guru Granth Sahib. As a name, Mannat is given mainly to girls.
