SikhPathThe Guru's Word

A name from the Gurū

By tradition a Sikh child is named with the first letter of the Hukam taken at the gurdwara. Take a Hukam here and choose a blessed name — a boy adds Singh, a girl Kaur.

The names are suggestions for the letter. The naming (Nām Karan) is done at the gurdwara before Srī Gurū Granth Sāhib Jī — take this as a loving guide.
