Amrikjot is a Punjabi Sikh compound formed from Amrik and Jot. Amrik is a vernacular relative of Amrit (from Sanskrit amrita, “immortal; nectar”), and jot (Gurmukhi ਜੋਤ, from Sanskrit jyotis) means “light, divine flame.” Together the name expresses “immortal light” or “the light of Amrit,” evoking Sikh themes of inner, undying radiance.

Compound -jot names have circulated in Sikh communities since the late 1800s and expanded in the diaspora in the late 20th century; Amrikjot is used for all genders. Variant spellings include Amreekjot, Amrikjyot, and the close cognate Amritjot; jot may also appear as jyot. Related names include Harjot, Gurjot, and Manjot. Gurmukhi: ਅਮ੍ਰਿਕਜੋਤ. The name reflects the Sikh custom of forming virtue-based compounds from hymns read at the Naam Karan ceremony, common in Punjab and the diaspora (UK, Canada, US).
