sing
This literally means ‘lion’ and is the name given to all male 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 male Sikhs were asked to use the name Singh after their first name.
