Navroop meaning
Navroop (ਨਵਰੂਪ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Nav (new) joined with rūp (form, beauty): new form
Also used to mean: new beauty
Navroop (ਨਵਰੂਪ) combines nav, new, with rūp. The Mahan Kosh gives rūp a wide range: visible form and shape, colour, dress and nature, and above all beauty. In the Japji, Guru Nanak says the forms and beauty of the realm of grace cannot be described (Ang 8). Name lists explain Navroop as "new form" or "new beauty", which matches the parts. The name is used for girls and boys in Sikh families and, less often, in Punjabi Hindu families. Navrup is an alternative spelling.
