Meaning and origin of Balmeet

It follows the familiar Sikh pattern of two short, meaningful elements, like Harmeet ('friend of God') and Gurmeet ('friend of the Guru'). Balmeet is a newer and less frequent combination than these, and families usually explain it as one who is close to strength or whose strength is a companion.
