Paradise or heaven, in documented South Asian naming traditions.
The reviewed Urdu, Punjabi and Gujarati entries record both the paradise/heaven noun and the corresponding feminine given name with the same source ancestry. This describes the linguistic and cultural tradition, not a religious identity or promise about a bearer.
Origin
Arabic ancestry through Persian, in documented South Asian given-name traditions
The Urdu, Punjabi and Gujarati sections explicitly record feminine given-name use and trace their forms through Classical Persian jannat to Arabic janna. The Gujarati entry explicitly renders the given name as Jannat. This route is not inferred solely from the English religious term.
