Discover sacred Sikh baby boy names inspired by Gurbani (Sri Guru Granth Sahib), Punjabi tradition, and Sikh history. Names carrying the divine light and warrior spirit of Sikh Dharma.
Sacred Sikh Names for Your Son
Sikh names are drawn from Gurbani — the sacred hymns of the Guru Granth Sahib. Traditional Sikh naming involves opening the Guru Granth Sahib at random and choosing a name starting with the first letter of the Hukamnama.
Popular Sikh boy names include Arjun, Gurpreet, Harpreet, Manpreet, Gurjot, Simarjot, Navtej, and Baljinder. Names often end in '-preet' (love), '-jot' (light), or '-deep' (lamp).
Modern Sikh families also choose names like Aryan, Arjun, Aarav, Kabir, and Akal — combining Sikh values with modern appeal.
