Sehajpreet meaning
Sehajpreet (ਸਹਿਜਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Sahaj (natural poise, spiritual calm) joined with prīt (love)
Also used to mean: love for tranquillity, natural joy
Sehajpreet (ਸਹਿਜਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins sehaj with prīt, love. Sehaj, Sanskrit sahaja, is one of the key words of Sikh spirituality. The Mahan Kosh gives it as innate nature, knowledge and joy, and in the Guru Granth Sahib it names the state of effortless poise and inner calm that comes through the Name (for example Ang 100). With prīt the name reads "love of that inner peace" or "love that comes naturally". Name lists give "love for tranquillity" or "natural joy". It is used for girls and boys in Sikh families.
