Prabhjot meaning
Prabhjot (ਪ੍ਰਭਜੋਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Light (jot) of the Lord (Prabh)
Prabhjot (ਪ੍ਰਭਜੋਤ) joins prabh, from prabhu, with jot, "light". The Mahan Kosh gives prabhu as master or owner, the Creator, and a husband. Jot (ਜੋਤਿ), from Sanskrit jyotis, is brightness or light, and in Gurbani also the inner spiritual light and the Supreme Being, Waheguru, himself. Both words occur on Ang 13 of the Guru Granth Sahib. Read as a name, Prabhjot means "light of the Lord", which name lists also give as "divine light". The compound is a modern given name rather than a scriptural phrase. It is used mainly in Sikh and Punjabi families, for both boys and girls, and is also spelled Prabjot.
