| | Sikhism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | So a Sikh is a disciple of the Ten Gurus and a follower of the teachings in Sikhism's holy scriptures who they regard as a living guru, the Guru Granth Sahib. | | | The Guru Granth Sahib is the eleventh and final Guru of the Sikhs, is held in the highest regard by the Sikhs and is treated as the Eternal Guru, as instructed by Guru Gobind Singh. | | | The first Sikh Holy Scripture was compiled and edited by the Fifth Guru, Guru Arjan in AD 1604, although some of the earlier gurus are also known to have documented their revelations. |

| | Thus a woman named Harbans Kaur remains Harbans Kaur as a daughter and wife in case she does not use the caste and Harbans Kaur Gill in case her father’s caste is Gill and Harbans Kaur Brar in case she marries a person with Brar sub caste. | | | Sikh men and women would do well by going back to the Sikh tradition of using the surname of Singh and Kaur after their first names as enjoined by the Gurus. | | | While Sikhs are no supposed to use caste after their common surname of Singh (lion) for male and Kaur (Princess) for female, of late it is becoming common with the Sikhs to use caste after Singh or Kaur. |

| | Choosing Names amongst Sikh Diaspora |
| | A given name or the “First Name” of a Sikh is followed by “Singh” (a Lion) for a baby boy and “Kaur” (a princess) for a baby girl again as per the ordained codes of Sikh faith and as such it needs to be adhered to. | | | There are many beautiful first Sikh names out there containing not more than three to five letters with their roots ingrained in the Sikh history, culture, faith, traditions and language having full association with our Sikh scriptures yet simple enough for westerner to pronounce. | | | At the time of “Naming Ceremony” the first name is always chosen starting with a letter that happens to be the same as the first letter of “the Hukum” (Reading of a Shabad) from a random opening of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. |

| | Welcome to "Gateway to Sikhism " |
| | While the Sikhs hold their Gurus in high reverence, they are not to be worshipped; Sikhs may only worship God.... | | | Sikhs have their own holy scripture, Guru Granth Sahib. | | | Often mistaken as a combination of Hinduism and Islam, the Sikh religion can be characterized as a completely independent faith. |

| | In Indian society, an individual's name reveals his or her caste, and Sikhs were freed from the caste system by having all men incorporate Singh in their names and all women, Kaur. | | | In 1699, Sikh Women were given the last name 'Kaur' and and Men 'Singh' by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru. | | | Note: ome families and individuals choose to use a "family" or a "sur" name that is different from the aforementioned and it that case, they adopt Kaur or Singh as middle names. |

| | We do appreciate the historical significace of the Sikh names "Singh" and "Kaur"; however, allow me to say that the surname is considered necessary for identification purposes, to distinguish between the many thousand of persons who have "Singh" and "Kaur" as part of their name. | | | Our clientele also demand that inadmissible applicatns not be given the opportunity to misrepresent their identity thgrough the improper use of a commonly shared name, particularly if this misrepresentation casts doubt on the credibility of the family or community to which they belong. | | | While we understand that Guru Gobind Singh prescribed the use of these names to symbolize membership in a casteless community, it is also true that many Sikhs recognize the utility of having a distinctive surname. |
