709 Sikh/Punjabi Baby Names With Meanings

Sikh baby names hold profound significance since they are rooted in the sacred teachings of Guru Granth Sahib, reflecting the rich history of their heritage. These names exemplify a beautiful fusion of spirituality and valor, offering parents a treasure trove of linguistic gems to bestow upon their newborns. As part of the Sikh traditions, after two weeks after the birth of the baby, a special naming ceremony, also known as the ‘naam karan ceremony,’ is held at the Gurudwara. Here, the parents of the child and the guests make an offering to the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy book of Sikhs. They either offer a donation or make a sanctified form of food, also known as ‘Karah Parshad.’ After this, the baby is given a holy mixture of sugar and water to mark the initiation of the ceremony. The Guru Granth Sahib is the primary source of picking names for Sikh babies. The reader of the Holy Book (Granthi) opens the book at random at the command (Hukam) of God. The first letter of the first word from the page picked for the initial of the child’s name. The parents choose the name for their little one with that letter and share it with the congregation by the granthi. People of the Sikh faith are often referred to as Khalsa, a community. The male members are assigned the title Singh (lion), while the female members are assigned Kaur (princess) (1). Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and the last human Sikh Guru, had instructed all to practice this belief to remind them of the popular Sikh faith, which is ‘the oneness of humanity.’ The tradition reduces caste-based prejudices and displays equality between men and women.
