Ranjodh meaning
Ranjodh (ਰਣਜੋਧ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Ran (battle) joined with jodh (warrior): warrior of the battlefield
Also used to mean: brave warrior
Ranjodh (ਰਣਜੋਧ) joins raṇ, battle, with jodh, warrior. The Mahan Kosh gives raṇ as battle and the tumult of the battlefield, and jodh as a warrior or fighter; the Japji uses jodh for the great warriors who praise God (Ang 5). The name means "warrior of the battlefield", which matches the usual explanation on name lists. It belongs with older martial Sikh names such as Ranjit and Ranbir. Ranjodh Singh Majithia was a general of the Sikh Empire who fought in the First Anglo-Sikh War. It is a boys' name.
