Kaur

kor

Explanation

This literally means ‘princess’ and is the name given to all female Sikhs.

In 1699 Guru Gobind Singh (the tenth Sikh Guru and leader) used

amrit (blessed water) in a ceremony to welcome both men and women into the faith, confirming the teaching of Guru Nanak (the founder of Sikhism) about equality. All female Sikhs were asked to use the name Kaur after their first name.
