Shubhdeep

Shubhdeep meaning

Shubhdeep (ਸ਼ੁਭਦੀਪ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).

Shubh (auspicious, good) joined with dīp (lamp): auspicious lamp

Also used to mean: auspicious light, light of good fortune

Shubhdeep (ਸ਼ੁਭਦੀਪ) joins shubh with dīp. The Mahan Kosh, under the Gurbani spelling subh (ਸੁਭ), gives excellent, good and auspicious, and also light and radiance; the Guru Granth Sahib uses it for what is good and favourable (Ang 236). Dīp is a lamp, from a root meaning to shine. Together they give "auspicious lamp" or "auspicious light", as name lists say. It is a boys' name in Sikh families. The Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was born Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu.
