Gurpreet joins two of the warmest words in the Punjabi language: Gur (the Guru, the teacher, the light) and preet (love). Together they mean "the love of the Guru" — a name that is really a small prayer.
"In the Sikh tradition, the highest wealth a person can carry is love for the Guru's wisdom."
It is a name rooted in the teachings of the Guru Granth Sahib, where devotion, equality and humility sit at the very centre of a good life. Gentle and unisex, Gurpreet gives a child a name that means belonging — to a tradition, to a community, and to grace.
