Punjabi baby names are mostly rooted in the culture of the state. Just like the energy and vibrancy of the state, the names symbolize prosperity, bravery, strength, and resilience. In Punjab, the naming ceremony holds special significance. The newborn is taken to the Gurudwara by the parents and other family members. Special prayers are offered for the overall well-being of the baby. The first letter of the baby’s name is chosen with utmost care; often inspired by the teachings of ‘Guru Granth Sahib’, the holy book of the Sikhs.
