What Does Singh Mean in Sikh Names?
Singh means “lion” and comes from the Sanskrit word simha. According to Wikipedia, Guru Gobind Singh Ji made it the name for all male Sikhs when the Khalsa was formalised, traditionally dated to 1699, to build equality and move away from caste distinctions. That is why your son’s full name will usually be his first name followed by Singh, for example Arshdeep Singh.
How Do Sikh Families Choose a Baby Boy’s Name?
Many Sikh families choose a name at a Naam Karan (naming ceremony) at the gurdwara. The Guru Granth Sahib is opened at random, and the family chooses a name that begins with the first letter of the hymn that is read, as described in Wikipedia’s article on Sikh names. If that letter is hard to use, some families use the first letter of the next word.
Once you know the letter, these checks help you settle on one name:
Meaning: pick a meaning that reflects what you hope for him, such as peace (sukh), courage (bir, veer) or devotion (gur, prabh)
Sound: say the full name aloud with Singh and your surname
Spelling: choose one English spelling (for example Jit or Jeet) and use it on every document
Family names: check that it is not the same as a close elder’s name, if your family avoids that
Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Sikh boy name also be used for a girl?
Yes. Most Sikh first names are unisex, so the same name can be given to a boy or a girl. Singh after the first name usually shows it is a boy, and Kaur shows it is a girl.
Is it okay to name my son after a Guru?
Many families use names linked to the Gurus, such as Angad, Arjan, Hargobind or Gobind, as a mark of respect. Some families prefer to avoid using a Guru’s exact name, so it is worth talking to elders or your gurdwara if you are unsure.
What is the difference between jit and jeet, or bir and veer?
They are different English spellings of the same Punjabi word. Jit and jeet both mean victory, and bir, vir and veer all mean brave. Pick the spelling you like and keep it the same on the birth certificate, passport and school records.
Are Sikh names and Punjabi names the same?
There is a lot of overlap, because most Sikh names are Punjabi. Punjabi families of other faiths also use many of these names. For Punjabi names beyond Sikh tradition, see Mylo’s guide to Punjabi baby boy names.
Where can I find Sikh baby girl names?
See Mylo’s list of Sikh baby girl names. Since most Sikh names are unisex, many of the names in this article can also be used for a girl with Kaur.
