Ramandeep (ਰਮਨਦੀਪ) is one of the Punjabi names ending in -deep, a lamp. Its first part, raman, is entered in the Mahan Kosh as charming or delightful, as delight and play, and, from Sanskrit, as reciting; one Gurbani dictionary adds pervading, the sense behind Ram as the God who pervades all. On name lists the usual meaning is "light of God" or "lamp of Rama", which links raman with Ram, while the dictionary reading gives "delightful lamp". Ramandeep is used for both girls and boys, and India hockey player Ramandeep Singh played at two Olympics.
