Manpreet is a name of Indian origin, specifically from the Punjabi language, where it combines *man* (mind or heart) and *preet* (love), so it means "love of the heart" or "beloved one." It is traditionally a Sikh name, often given to boys, but also used for girls, reflecting its warm, universal sentiment. Among notable bearers is Manpreet Singh, the captain of the Indian men's national field hockey team who led them to a historic bronze medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. The name also appears in Scottish registers thanks to the nation's diverse, multicultural community, and it resonates with a similar theme of deep affection as the Scottish name *Malcolm*, which means "disciple of Columba." A popular variant for girls is Manpreet Kaur, incorporating the Sikh surname meaning "princess."
