Jagdip is a masculine Indian given name formed from Sanskrit roots: jagat (world, cosmos) and dīpa (lamp, light), transmitted through Punjabi and Hindi as Jag + Deep/Dip. The composite meaning is lamp of the world, evoking guidance, enlightenment, and auspicious radiance.

The name is well established in North Indian usage, especially among Sikh and Hindu families in Punjab, and it spread widely with the South Asian diaspora. Jagdeep is the most prevalent spelling; Jagdip reflects Punjabi phonology and anglicized transliteration, with rarer variants such as Jagadip or Jagadeep. Related names built on the same elements include Jagdish (lord of the world) and Jagjit (conqueror of the world), while cognates sharing the dīpa element include Deepak, Sandeep, and Pradeep. Usage has been particularly visible since the mid-20th century, often appearing with the honorific middle name Singh in male full names.
