Jaspreet
Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Jaspreet: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 1992.
Jaspreet is a name of Punjabi origin, popular among Sikh and Indian communities, and in Scotland it has been carried by families who have made the country their home since the late 20th century. Blending two Sanskrit roots, "jas" meaning "praise" and "preet" meaning "love," the name essentially translates to "one who loves praise" or "praised with love." Notable bearers include Jaspreet Singh, a Canadian author known for his novel *Helium*, and Jaspreet Bumrah, the Indian cricketer whose unorthodox bowling style has made him a world-famous fast bowler. There is no major place directly named after a Jaspreet, though the root "preet" appears in other Indian place names like Preet Nagar. The name is often given to both boys and girls, though in Scotland it is recorded slightly more frequently for male births.
