Paramjeet meaning
Paramjeet (ਪਰਮਜੀਤ) is a Sikh and Hindu unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Param (highest, supreme) joined with jīt (victory): supreme victory
Also used to mean: highest victory
Paramjeet (ਪਰਮਜੀਤ) joins param, highest or supreme, with jīt, victory. The Mahan Kosh gives param as chief and highest and also as a name of the Creator, and jīt as victory or conquest; both words are used in the Guru Granth Sahib (Ang 10 and Ang 180). The name therefore means "supreme victory", which is also how name lists explain it. Paramjeet is a Punjabi name, carried by both men and women in Sikh and Punjabi Hindu families, and is often spelt Paramjit or Parmjit.
