Sukhjot meaning
Sukhjot (ਸੁਖਜੋਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Sukh (happiness, peace) joined with jot (light): light of peace
Also used to mean: light of happiness
Sukhjot (ਸੁਖਜੋਤ) combines sukh with jot. Sukh is happiness, comfort and inner peace in the Mahan Kosh, and jot is light, the divine light and the light of the soul; Guru Nanak's Aarti speaks of the one light in all (Ang 13). The name reads "light of peace" or "light of happiness", which matches the usual explanation on name lists. Sukhjot is used for boys and, less often, girls in Sikh families.
