About the name Sandip
Sandip is the lamp already lit rather than the lamp itself, a small distinction that gives it more motion than most light-based names. The Gujarati spelling drops the double e that north Indian families prefer, which is often the quickest clue to where a Sandip grew up.
Sandip is a boy name of Sanskrit origin, pronounced sun-DEEP. On the NameRarity scale it scores 85 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.
