Meaning & Origin

Arshdeep is a boy's and girl's baby name of Punjabi origin, combining the Persian/Sanskrit arsh (throne, heavenly) and the Sanskrit deep (light, lamp), meaning 'lamp of heaven' or 'celestial light.'

Arshdeep is a traditional Sikh name from Punjab combining two beautiful elements — the divine throne and the sacred lamp of illumination. In the Sikh naming tradition, deep names are especially popular, connecting children to the idea of being a light in the world. Indian cricketer Arshdeep Singh brought this name international attention.
