Baby Names in Punjabi — ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨਾਂ
Discover vibrant Punjabi baby names from Punjab's rich Sikh and Hindu tradition. Punjabi names carry the warmth, strength, and joy of Punjab's culture — from Gurbani-inspired Sikh names to classical Sanskrit Hindu names.
Vibrant Punjabi Baby Names
Punjabi baby names come primarily from two traditions: Sikh names from Gurbani (Sri Guru Granth Sahib) and Hindu Punjabi names from Sanskrit. Both traditions share the Punjabi language's distinctive sounds.
Sikh naming follows the Hukamnama tradition — the Guru Granth Sahib is opened at the Gurdwara and the first letter of the first hymn becomes the child's name starting letter.
Popular Punjabi boy names: Gurpreet, Harpreet, Manpreet, Balveer, Kulwant, Amrit, and Navtej. Popular Punjabi girl names: Simranjit, Jasleen, Manreet, Amrit, and Harnoor.
