Navreet meaning
Navreet (ਨਵਰੀਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Nav (new) joined with rīti (way, custom)
Navreet (ਨਵਰੀਤ) joins nav, new, with rīt, a way or custom. Nav is Sanskrit nava, new, and in Punjabi also nine; it begins many Sikh names, such as Navjot and Navneet. Rīt, Sanskrit rīti, is entered in the Mahan Kosh as a method or way, and also as gait and nature, and a Gurbani dictionary gives it as a custom or way of life (for example Ang 44). Together the name reads "a new way" or "a new tradition". It is a modern name, used for girls in Sikh families, and no source records how it was first formed. The full name is not a Mahan Kosh headword, so its meaning is read from its two parts.
