Nishanpreet is Punjabi in Origin.

Nishanpreet is a Punjabi Sikh compound name formed from Nishan, a Persian-derived word meaning sign, emblem, or flag, and Preet, from Sanskrit prīti meaning love or affection. In Sikh culture Nishan evokes the Nishan Sahib, the saffron flag at gurdwaras, so the name conveys love of the sacred emblem, devotion to the banner, or more broadly affection for a guiding sign or ideal, implying loyalty, honor, and steadfast identity.

Used chiefly in Punjabi-speaking communities in India and the diaspora, the name belongs to the modern wave of -preet formations that gained popularity in the 20th century and is typically unisex. Variant spellings arise from transliteration: Nishanprit, Nisanpreet, Nishaanpreet, and the spaced form Nishan Preet; common short forms include Nishan, Preet, and Nishu. In formal Sikh usage it often appears with Singh or Kaur as a second name.
