What is the meaning of the name Gurdit ?

The baby name Gurdit is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced GUR-dit (IPA: /ɡʊrˈdɪt/).

Gurdit is Punjabi in Origin.

Gurdit is a Punjabi and Sikh given name built from gur- “Guru, spiritual guide” (from Sanskrit guru) and dittā “given, bestowed” in Punjabi, yielding the devotional meaning “gift of the Guru” or “granted by the Guru.” The name is typically masculine in everyday use, though Sikh given names are often functionally unisex and commonly paired with Singh or Kaur.

Usage is longstanding in Punjabi-speaking communities, with a closely related historical form Gurditta/Gurdita borne by Bhai Gurditta, the 17th‑century son of Guru Hargobind. Modern spellings vary by transliteration - Gurdit, Gurditt, and the longer Gurditta/Gurdita all circulate - with the same core sense. The name appears across the diaspora (India, the United Kingdom, Canada, and beyond); a notable bearer was Gurdit Singh (1860–1954), the entrepreneur associated with the Komagata Maru incident. Related gur‑ names include Gurpreet and Gurminder, though these are not direct variants.
