Gurpreet is a name of Sanskrit origin, composed of "gur" (teacher or guide) and "preet" (love), so it means "love of the guru" or "beloved of the teacher." It is a unisex name, though more commonly given to boys, and is especially popular within Sikh and Punjabi communities. A notable bearer is Gurpreet Singh Sandhu, the Indian professional footballer who became the first Indian goalkeeper to play in a top-tier European league. The name also appears in the world of literature through Gurpreet Kaur Bhatia, a prominent Indian author and columnist. While there are no major place connections, the name shares its "gur" root with the city of Gurugram in India, which means "village of the guru." A common variant is Gurpreet Kaur for girls, reflecting the Sikh tradition of using Kaur as a surname.
