Sukhjeet meaning
Sukhjeet (ਸੁਖਜੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Sukh (happiness, peace) joined with jīt (victory)
Sukhjeet (ਸੁਖਜੀਤ) combines sukh, happiness and peace, with jīt, victory. Both are among the most common elements in Sikh names: the Mahan Kosh gives sukh as comfort, joy and bliss, and jīt as victory or conquest, and both words occur often in the Guru Granth Sahib. The parts give "victory of peace" or "joyful victory". Name lists explain the name in different ways, from "remaining in peace" to "happy in victory". It is used for girls and boys. India hockey forward Sukhjeet Singh won bronze at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
