[Facts] Jaspreet
One of my professors at school has the first name Jaspreet. I searched our school directory to find out there are 3 of them, so I assume the name is somewhat common. The Jaspreet I know is a woman, 40-50s, and has a middle eastern background, likely Indian or Pakistani I assume by accent and dress.
Ty in advance for any help.

Hi Silver,In the book "Sikh Baby Names" I found the meaning: Love of glory (jas = glory, preet = love)/ Satuhttp://www.nordicnames.de/

Hey Satu, I got a quSince the order of the parts of the name are glory then love, whats the possibility of the name meaning 'glory of love' or in Sanskrit is it usually backwards.

Sorry, forgot to mention the word order is the usual one in this context. The usual rule for compound nouns in Sanskrit is that the main word comes last: i.e. adjective before noun, object before action, etc. Stated another way jaspreet must either be a kind of preet (or its negation etc.), or related more closely (or equally closely if it were a conjunctive compound) to preet than to jas. In the rare cases where the rule is violated in Sanskrit, the resulting word becomes an `indeclinable' (declinations which mark the grammatical relation of the word in the sentence are suffixes but tend never to attach to non-primary element in a compound), and often act as adverbs of place or time etc., not as nouns.
