Tavleen meaning
Tavleen (ਤਵਲੀਨ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Tav (your, Thy) joined with līn (absorbed): absorbed in Thee
Also used to mean: absorbed in God, immersed in the divine
Tavleen (ਤਵਲੀਨ) joins tav with līn. Tav is the Sanskrit tava, "your" or "thy"; the Mahan Kosh enters it as a pronoun, and Guru Nanak uses it in the Aarti when he tells God that thousands are His eyes (Ang 13). Līn is absorbed or merged. The name therefore means "absorbed in You", that is, in God, and name lists give "absorbed in God" or "immersed in the divine". It is a girls' name in Sikh families. The journalist and columnist Tavleen Singh is a well-known bearer.
