Manreet meaning
Manreet (ਮਨਰੀਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Man (mind, heart) joined with rīti (way, manner; in Gurbani, a way of life)
Manreet (ਮਨਰੀਤ) joins two Punjabi words. Man is the mind or heart, the inner self that the Guru Granth Sahib constantly addresses (for example Ang 82). Rīt, from Sanskrit rīti, is a way, a custom or a manner of living; the Mahan Kosh gives method and way as well as nature and disposition, and a Gurbani dictionary adds a way of life, citing lines such as one on Ang 44. Read together, the name means something like "the way of the heart". It is a modern compound used for girls in Sikh families, on the same pattern as Jasreet, Navreet and Gunreet.
