Arshdeep is a Punjabi compound that can be read as ‘lamp of heaven’ or ‘light of God's abode’. Wiktionary records arsh as ‘sky’, ‘heaven’ and God's throne or abode, with a route through Persian from Arabic. Deep is a Punjabi word for ‘lamp’ or ‘light’, borrowed from Sanskrit. The meaning comes from reading these documented elements together; the cited source does not define the whole name. Arshdeep is used for children of either gender.

ਅਰਸ਼ਦੀਪ in Gurmukhi and अर्शदीप in Devanagari are read arsh-deep, in two syllables. The first vowel is short and the ee is long. Arshdip and Arashdeep are alternative Roman spellings; the latter may suggest an extra vowel. Keep sh and d close together in the two-syllable reading.
