Charanjitpal is Punjabi in Origin.

Charanjitpal is a Sikh Punjabi given name, from Sanskrit-derived elements charan (ਚਰਨ, “holy feet”), jit/jeet (ਜੀਤ, “victory”), and pal/pāl (ਪਾਲ, “protector; one who cherishes”). The compound expresses “one who lovingly guards the victory won at the Guru’s feet,” i.e., triumph attained through humility and devotion. It is unisex in Sikh naming practice. Etymologically it fuses Sanskrit caraṇa (foot), jita (conquered), and pāla (guardian).

Used in Punjab and across the Sikh diaspora (India, UK, Canada, U.S.) since the early 20th century, it belongs to the modern devotional compounds favored in Gurmukhi scripture-inspired onomastics. Rarer than Charanjit or Charanpal, it often appears with the surnames Singh or Kaur. Variants and spellings include Charanjeetpal, Charan Jitpal, Charanpal, Jitpal, and Charanjit-Pal; short forms Charan, Jeet/Jit, or Pal. In practice it skews masculine but remains acceptable for any gender.
