Harpreet

Harpreet is a Punjabi given name of Sikh and broader Punjabi origin. It is formed from the elements har, a name element associated with God in Punjabi usage, and preet, meaning love or affection. The combined meaning is usually rendered as "God-loving" or "one who loves God."

The name is common in the Punjab region and among the Punjabi diaspora in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and elsewhere. It is primarily used as a masculine given name in many communities, but some families also use it across genders or in compound given names. In formal contexts it may appear with a surname such as Singh (for men) or Kaur (for women).

Variants and transliterations include Harprit and Harpreet, among others, reflecting differences in spelling without changing the underlying pronunciation. The two-element construction also appears in related names that reuse har or preet as components.

Notable individuals named Harpreet have appeared in sports, business, and academia, reflecting the name's broad usage in Punjabis and the global diaspora.
