About the name Gurdeep
Deep here is the small oil lamp, not the English adjective, so the image is of a flame lit from the Guru's teaching and carried onward. It reads slightly more traditional than Gurpreet now, the sort of name a grandparent chose, which is exactly why it is drifting back into fashion.
Gurdeep is a unisex name of Punjabi origin, pronounced goor-DEEP. On the NameRarity scale it scores 83 out of 100, which places it in the very rare band — a genuinely uncommon pick — most people have never met anyone with this name. Its strongest period was the 1980s.
