Jashandeep can be read as ‘lamp of celebration’, combining Punjabi jashan, ‘festivity’ or ‘celebration’, with deep, ‘lamp’ or ‘light’. Wiktionary documents the components separately. Jashan came from Persian, while deep has a Sanskrit source, giving the name roots in both strands of Punjabi vocabulary. The whole-name meaning is a reading of those parts, rather than a definition supplied for the complete compound. The name is used for girls and boys.

Spelling and pronunciation
ਜਸ਼ਨਦੀਪ in Gurmukhi and जशनदीप in Devanagari are read ja-shan-deep, in three syllables with a long final ee. Jashandip is another Roman spelling. The sh is like English sh. Jashan is also used on its own as a name, without the light element.
Also spelled Jashandip.
