Kanwaldeep

Kanwaldeep is a name common among the Sikhs in the Punjab region of India. It is derived from a combination of two Hindi words, "kanwal" and "deep".

"Kanwal" is a modification of "Kamal", which means the lotus flower. "Deep", means "light" or "lamp". The literal meaning of Kanwaldeep is, "the light emitted by the lotus," symbolically, it assumes a deeper meaning. The lotus is a flower known to grow from the sludge or mud in the bottom of a pond, the name then denotes one who faces all adversities with a brave face and rises above them. Another interpretation would be remaining pure amongst all the evils that exist in this world.

Punjabi meaning of the name Kanwaldeep means "Feet of the Lord" (Guru de Charan)
