Sukhpreet meaning
Sukhpreet (ਸੁਖਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Sukh (happiness, peace) joined with prīt (love): love of peace
Also used to mean: loving peace
Sukhpreet (ਸੁਖਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins sukh with prīt. The Mahan Kosh gives sukh as happiness, comfort and bliss, and prīt as love and delight; both words run throughout the Guru Granth Sahib, sukh from the Japji onward (Ang 1). Together they give "love of peace" or "loving and happy", which is also how name lists explain it. Sukhpreet is used for girls and boys in Sikh families, with Kaur or Singh showing which.
