Sandeep is an Indian given name that has gained international recognition due to its unique and distinctive sound. Originating from the Sanskrit word 'Sandeep', which means 'deep' or 'profound', it is often interpreted as 'someone who is profound in thought or action'. This name has been popularized globally, with notable individuals such as Sandeep Lamichhane, a Nepalese cricketer, and Sandeep Singh, an Indian hockey player, contributing to its widespread recognition.
"The name Sandeep experienced a peak popularity between the late 1970s and early 1990s, with over 20 births per year consistently from 1974 to 1993, reaching a high of 33 births in 1989. However, its popularity has since declined, dropping below 20 births per year after 1995 and fluctuating between 5 and 19 births annually in recent years."
