Gurpreeti is a masculine given name most commonly found among Sikh communities in the Punjab region of India. The name combines two Sanskrit‑derived elements: “gur” (गुरु), meaning ‘teacher’ or ‘spiritual guide’, and “preet” (प्रीत), meaning ‘love’ or ‘affection’.
Together the literal sense is ‘love of the guru’ or ‘devotion to the teacher’. It is used as a personal name rather than a title and appears in Punjabi‑language naming traditions alongside the shorter form Gurpreet.
The construction follows a typical pattern of pairing a religious concept with an emotion to create a compound name.
