Frequently asked questions
How are Sikh names traditionally chosen?
In the naam karan ceremony the Guru Granth Sahib is opened at random, and the first letter of the hymn on the left page becomes the first letter of the baby’s name.
What do Singh and Kaur mean?
Singh (“lion”) is given to boys and Kaur (“princess”) to girls — titles from Guru Gobind Singh Ji that give every Sikh an equal identity.
Are most Sikh names unisex?
Many are, because they describe virtues rather than gender — names like Simran, Gurpreet and Harleen suit any child.
