Meaning not confirmed
In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself.
Ravneet (ਰਵਨੀਤ) is a modern Punjabi name, used for girls and boys in Sikh families. Its first part is usually taken to be ravi, the sun, which the Mahan Kosh lists along with fire; in Guru Nanak's Aarti on Ang 13 of the Guru Granth Sahib the sun and moon are the lamps of the cosmic worship. The ending -neet, shared with Avneet and Japneet, has no settled meaning. It is often linked with nīti, right conduct or principle, but no source records how the name was formed, so we give no meaning for the whole. Name lists offer "morality like the sun" and "humble light", but no single gloss is widely shared.
