The ending -inder (ਇੰਦਰ) comes from Indra, the king of the gods, and came to mean “lord” or “God”. So Surinder means king of the gods, Ravinder lord of the sun and Kulwinder the God of the family. These names were the favourites of the 1950s to the 1980s, which is why so many Punjabi dads and grandads are called Jaswinder, Harjinder or Bhupinder. Today’s parents often prefer shorter endings like -jot, -veer and -raj, but the -inder names are coming back as a way to honour the elders.
Naam Karan at the gurdwara. In Sikh families, the baby’s name is chosen at the Naam Karan ceremony. The Guru Granth Sahib is opened at random, and the first letter of the hukamnama (the verse read out) becomes the first letter of the baby’s name.
Singh for every boy. The family chooses a name starting with that letter, and Singh, meaning lion, is added as his middle or last name, as Guru Gobind Singh asked.
Hindu Punjabi families. Many choose the first letter from the baby’s rashi or name the baby after a family deity.
Pet names at home. Almost every Punjabi boy also has a pet name, like Kaka, Lucky, Goldy or Duggu, that stays with him for life.
Start with the hukamnama letter, if your family follows it. Then look through the A to Z list above for names starting with that letter.
Say it with Singh and the surname. A name like Jasraj Singh Gill should feel easy to say in one breath.
Check the English spelling. Names like Jaskirat and Jaskeerat, or Gurniwaz and Gurnivaz, have several spellings. Pick one and use it on the birth certificate, Aadhaar and passport.
Think about the meaning. A name from Gurbani or Sikh history, like Harjas or Zorawar, gives your son a story he can tell with pride.
Pick a pet name too. A sweet pet name like Kaka or Sunny is half the fun of naming a Punjabi boy.

The best Punjabi name for your son is one that carries your family’s faith, courage and hopes for him. Shortlist a few names, say each one with Singh and the surname, pick a sweet pet name to go with it, and choose the one you will love calling every day.
