Paramjot meaning
Paramjot (ਪਰਮਜੋਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Param (highest, supreme) joined with jot (light, divine light): supreme light
Also used to mean: the highest light, God's light
Paramjot (ਪਰਮਜੋਤ) combines param, highest or supreme, with jot, light. In the Mahan Kosh jot (ਜੋਤਿ) is light, the divine light, and the light of the soul, and Guru Nanak's Aarti speaks of the one light that shines in all (Ang 13). Param is also listed as a name of the Creator, so the name can be read both as "supreme light" and as "the light of the Supreme". Sikh name lists give "the highest light" or "God's light". Paramjot is used for girls and boys in Sikh families.
