Jasdeep is a boy's and girl's baby name of Sanskrit origin, from the Punjabi/Sanskrit compound of jas (glory, fame, praise) and deep (lamp, light), meaning "lamp of glory" or "light of fame." It is a traditional Sikh masculine name, reflecting the Sikh tradition of combining sacred elements in given names.
Jasdeep carries the luminous, spiritual meaning of a lamp that radiates divine glory. It is widely used in Punjabi Sikh communities, honoring the tradition of names that connect the child's identity to the light of God's praise.
