Kamaljot pairs kamal, the lotus, with jot, 'light' or 'flame', the word Sikhs also use for the divine light passed from Guru to Guru. The lotus is a common image in Sikh scripture for a soul that stays pure while living in the world, just as the flower rises clean from muddy water. The name therefore suggests a pure, shining spirit.
