Rasleen meaning
Rasleen (ਰਸਲੀਨ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Ras (nectar, essence, joy) joined with līn (absorbed): absorbed in nectar
Also used to mean: absorbed in sweetness, absorbed in divine nectar
Rasleen (ਰਸਲੀਨ) joins ras with līn. Ras has a rich range in the Mahan Kosh: taste and juice, the nectar of flowers, essence, and joy and love; in the Guru Granth Sahib it often means the sweet essence of the divine Name (for example Ang 170). Līn is absorbed or merged. The two words stand together in a salok of Guru Tegh Bahadur, ਹਰਿ ਰਸਿ ਲੀਨ, absorbed in the Lord's essence (Ang 1428). Rasleen therefore means one absorbed in that nectar. It is a girls' name in Sikh families.
