Meaning & Origin
Harleen is a girl's baby name of Punjabi and Sikh origin, meaning 'absorbed in God' or 'immersed in the Lord,' from the Punjabi Har (a name of God in Sikhism) and leen (absorbed in, merged with). The name expresses the Sikh ideal of being constantly in divine remembrance.
Harleen is widely used in Sikh communities in India, the UK, Canada, and the United States. It also gained unexpected pop culture visibility as the birth name of Harley Quinn — Harleen Quinzel — the iconic DC Comics character, giving the name an edgy layer alongside its spiritual roots.
