Choosing a name at a Naam Karan

In many Sikh families, the Guru Granth Sahib is opened at random and the first letter of the Hukamnama becomes the first letter of the baby's name. Boys traditionally add Singh and girls add Kaur. Most given names can be used for either, so the filters above include shared names under both.

Common questions

How is a Sikh baby named?

At a Naam Karan, the Guru Granth Sahib is opened at random and the first letter of the Hukamnama guides the name. The family then chooses a name beginning with that letter.

Are Sikh names used for both boys and girls?

Often, yes. Many given names work for either, and Singh for boys or Kaur for girls shows the difference. Names marked Boy or girl are commonly shared.

Are these name meanings exact?

They are common meanings. Names can be understood in more than one way, so ask a family elder or Granthi when the meaning matters.

Give them a name. Teach them to read it.
