Taranpreet meaning
Taranpreet (ਤਰਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Taran (crossing over, deliverance) joined with prīt (love)
Taranpreet (ਤਰਨਪ੍ਰੀਤ) joins taran with prīt, love. Taran, Sanskrit taraṇa, is the act of crossing a river and also a boat; since Gurbani pictures life as an ocean to be crossed, the Mahan Kosh also gives it the sense of deliverance (Ang 196). With prīt the name reads as love of that deliverance, or love that carries one across. Name lists explain it in several ways, such as "love for the saviour", without agreeing on one. Taranpreet is used for boys and girls in Sikh families.
