Etymology and Meaning The name Pargeet is derived from two Sanskrit/Punjabi root words: • "Par" (ਪਰ) – meaning supreme, beyond, or transcendent • "Geet" (ਗੀਤ) – meaning song or hymn Together, Pargeet can be interpreted as "a divine song", "supreme melody", "spiritual hymn or a song that cannot be sung" It carries poetic and devotional connotations, often symbolizing a person whose presence is as uplifting and inspiring as sacred music.
