Rajpreet meaning
Rajpreet (ਰਾਜਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Rāj (king, kingdom; chief) joined with prīt (love)
Rajpreet (ਰਾਜਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins two Punjabi name elements. Rāj is a king or kingdom, and in compounds it means chief or foremost (Mahan Kosh; Ang 47). Prīt is love, a word the Guru Granth Sahib uses throughout for love of God (Ang 82). The parts give "royal love" or "love of the king", and in a Sikh setting the king can be read as God, the true sovereign. Few name lists explain the whole name, and none agree, so we give only the parts. Rajpreet is used for girls and boys in Sikh families.
