Simarpreet meaning
Simarpreet (ਸਿਮਰਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Simar (remember, meditate) joined with prīt (love): love of remembrance
Also used to mean: love through remembrance
Simarpreet (ਸਿਮਰਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins simar, "remember", with prīt, love. Simar is the root of simran, the Sikh practice of keeping God's Name in mind, which the Mahan Kosh explains as one-pointed remembrance of the beloved; the call ਸਿਮਰਿ, "remember", is everywhere in the Guru Granth Sahib (for example Ang 197). With prīt the name reads "love of remembrance" or "love that comes through remembering God". Name lists give the same idea. It is used for girls and boys, along with the fuller Simranpreet. The Punjabi actress Simi Chahal was born Simarpreet Kaur Chahal.
