Born from Punjabi and Sanskrit roots—kiran for “ray” and deep for “lamp”—Kirandeep feels like a warm hug from the sun. In Sikh tradition, the name speaks of hope and guidance, like a pocket-sized lighthouse perfect for midnight snack raids. With its lilting Kee-RUN-deep, it dances off the tongue como un rayo de sol. Just six to thirteen baby girls in the US bear it each year, making it a secret treasure. Parents choose Kirandeep to celebrate brightness, resilience and joy. And the name brilla con luz propia, handing each little bearer a tiny torch to chase her dreams.
