Mehakpreet meaning
Mehakpreet (ਮਹਿਕਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Mahak (fragrance) joined with prīt (love)
Mehakpreet (ਮਹਿਕਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins mahak, fragrance, with prīt, love. The Mahan Kosh enters mahak as scent, perfume and fragrance, and as the quality of smell that belongs to the earth; the verb appears in Kabir's verse in the Guru Granth Sahib, where the body is said to give off fragrance (mahkandā, Ang 325). Prīt is love, from Sanskrit prīti (Ang 82). Together the name reads "the fragrance of love". Mehak on its own is a girl's name across North India, and Mehakpreet is its Sikh compound form, used for girls in Punjab and abroad. The whole name is not a dictionary headword; its meaning comes from its two parts.
