Are there any restrictions on Sikh baby names?

After the name is chosen, Kaur, meaning princess, is added to the names of baby girls, and Singh, meaning lion, is added to the names of baby boys (1). If the family has an ancestral surname, then Kaur and Singh are the middle names. However, Sikh naming practices may vary according to personal preferences, family culture, and traditions

Can Sikh baby names be gender-neutral?

Yes, most Sikh baby names are gender-neutral, although some are more often used with one gender than another.

What is the significance of Sikh baby names?

Sikh baby names hold a lot of significance as these names are derived from the Sikh holy book Guru Granth Sahib, which emphasizes spirituality and commitment towards God. The virtues of truth, compassion, contentment, calmness, humility, and love serve as sources of inspiration for many Sikh names.

Can Sikh baby names be in any language?

Yes, there is no official language of Sikhs, due to which there are no language restrictions. Hence, baby names can be in any language (2).

How do I ensure that the Sikh baby name I choose is not offensive or disrespectful?
