Randeep

Randeep meaning

Randeep (रणदीप) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Raṇa 'battle; joy' + dīpa 'lamp, light': light of the battlefield

Also used to mean: lamp of battle

Randeep (रणदीप) joins raṇa with dīpa, "a light, lamp". Monier-Williams gives raṇa as "battle, war, fight", and in its older Vedic use also as "delight, joy". The name is usually read as "light of the battlefield", a lamp that shines in the fight; name lists give "light" or "lamp of battle". It is used by both Hindu and Sikh families, particularly in Haryana and Punjab. Well-known bearers include the actor Randeep Hooda and the politician Randeep Surjewala.
