Ravleen meaning
Ravleen (ਰਵਲੀਨ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Rav(i) (the sun) joined with līn (absorbed): absorbed in the sun
Also used to mean: absorbed in the sun's light
Ravleen (ਰਵਲੀਨ) combines rav, the sun, with līn, absorbed. The Mahan Kosh gives ravi as the sun and also fire, and in Guru Nanak's Aarti the sun and moon are the lamps of the cosmic worship (Ang 13). Līn is absorbed or merged, as in ਨਾਮ ਲੀਨ, absorbed in the Name (Ang 1188). Name lists give Ravleen as absorbed in the light or warmth of the sun, which follows the parts. Like Harleen and Jasleen, it is a girls' name in Sikh families.
