The Sikh principle of 'Seva,' or selfless service, has had a significant global impact, leading to a growing interest in Indian Sikh names worldwide. Within the Sikh community, religion significantly influences the selection of names for newborns. The Guru Granth Sahib, the Sikh holy scripture, is the primary source for these spiritually rich names.
Many Sikh families practice the tradition of choosing names through a process known as Naam Karan. The ritual, known as ‘Hukamnama,’ involves choosing a name that begins with the first letter of a hymn from the Guru Granth Sahib, making the process highly spiritual and meaningful. Sikhs usually have a given name along with a surname, which may be a family or caste name or a Khalsa name. Sikh names are unisex and consist of a prefix and a suffix. When a Sikh becomes a Khalsa, men take the name ‘Singh,’ meaning ‘lion,’ and women adopt the name ‘Kaur,’ meaning ‘Crown Princess.’
Names such as Ekam meaning ‘one’ or ‘united,’ Fateh meaning ‘the victorious one,’ Deep meaning ‘the lamp of light,’ and Navpreet meaning ‘new love’ are quite popular and loved by parents. Explore our list of carefully selected Sikh names to find more beautiful names for your child.
