Navleen meaning
Navleen (ਨਵਲੀਨ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Nav (new) joined with līn (absorbed, merged)
Navleen (ਨਵਲੀਨ) belongs to the family of Sikh names ending in -leen, such as Harleen and Jasleen. Leen is līn, absorbed or merged, a word the Guru Granth Sahib uses for a mind absorbed in the divine Name (ਨਾਮ ਲੀਨ, Ang 1188). Nav means new, and can also mean nine. The two parts give something like "absorbed in the new", and name lists explain it in several ways, from "ever-fresh devotion" to "new bloom", without one meaning taking hold. It is a girls' name, used mainly in Sikh families.
