Sarabjot meaning
Sarabjot (ਸਰਬਜੋਤ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), also used for girls.
Sarab (all) joined with jot (light, divine light): the light in all
Also used to mean: light of the universe, universal light
Sarabjot (ਸਰਬਜੋਤ) combines sarab, all, with jot, light. In the Mahan Kosh jot is light, the divine light and the light of the soul, and Guru Nanak's Aarti speaks of the one light that is in everyone (Ang 13). The name thus means "the light in all" or "universal light", in line with the Sikh idea that one divine light shines in every being; name lists give "light of the universe". It is mainly a boys' name. The pistol shooter Sarabjot Singh, who won an Olympic bronze with Manu Bhaker at Paris 2024, is a well-known bearer.
