We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Pavneet (ਪਵਨੀਤ) is a modern Punjabi name, given mostly to girls in Sikh families. It belongs to the group of names ending in -neet, with Navneet, Avneet and Ravneet. Name lists usually explain it as "pure" or "holy", linking the first part with pāvan, which the Mahan Kosh gives as purifying, pure and holy; the Guru Granth Sahib uses pāvan for the purity that comes through the Guru (Ang 158). The ending -neet has no settled meaning, and no source records how the name was put together, so we give the popular meaning only, not a dictionary one.
