About the name Ranjeet
Every Punjabi hears Maharaja Ranjit Singh behind this name, the one-eyed ruler who held Lahore against the Afghans and the British both. That association makes it a heavier choice than its simple meaning suggests, closer to naming an English boy Alfred.
Ranjeet is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced run-JEET. 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.
