Prabhdeep meaning
Prabhdeep (ਪ੍ਰਭਦੀਪ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Prabh (the Lord) joined with dīp (lamp): lamp of God
Also used to mean: light of God
Prabhdeep (ਪ੍ਰਭਦੀਪ) joins prabh with dīp. Prabh, from Sanskrit prabhu, is master or Lord, and in the Guru Granth Sahib it is one of the most frequent names for God (for example Ang 13). Dīp is a lamp, from a root meaning to shine (Ang 57). The name means "lamp of God", which name lists also give as "light of God". Prabhdeep is used for boys and girls in Sikh families, and is part of a large group of modern names that begin with Prabh, such as Prabhjot and Prabhleen.
