Although not in the top 1000, it enjoys stable usage among families with Punjabi heritage.
Gurjot is a Sikh name derived from the Sanskrit words "guru" (teacher, spiritual guide) and "jot" (light, flame). Combined, it signifies "light of the guru" or "one who is awake to the guru's wisdom." The name has been used in Sikh communities since the late 20th century, particularly in Punjab and among the diaspora.
