Pargat meaning
Pargat (ਪਰਗਟ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Manifest, evident, revealed; clear
Also used to mean: famous
Pargat (ਪਰਗਟ) is the Punjabi form of Sanskrit prakaṭa. The Mahan Kosh defines it as manifest, evident and plainly visible, and the Guru Granth Sahib uses the word for glory that has become manifest to the world (Ang 72). As a name it carries the sense of someone who shines out or becomes well known, and Sikh name lists explain it along those lines. It is a boys' name in Sikh families. The best-known bearer is Pargat Singh, the former India hockey captain who later became a Punjab legislator and minister.
