Sandeep

Sandeep

Meaning

Sandeep means something that shines or glows. It is derived from a verb in Sanskrit meaning sam + deep which means to shine.

The name Sandeep is derived from the Sanskrit words "Sana" meaning old/eternal and "deep" meaning light. Thus "sana deep" when pronounced together with the help of a sandhi forms sandeep which means the old or eternal light. This meaning is also carried through in the western Indian language of Gujarati, where "San" means good and "Deep" means light or flame.

There is confusion around the word "Deep", where some think it means, nose. However logical proof of "Deep" meaning light can be found in word Diwali (the Hindu festival of lights)and (sikh festival for their guru). Diwali is the English pronunciation of the word, the actual spelling is "Deepavali" which is literally translated from Sanskrit to mean, the festival of light.
