Some women might rather call themselves "Singhni" than "Kaur" because equality. I met a white Sikh woman who changes her last name to kaur to singhni. She said that a lot of Sikh men don't like seeing women wearing turbans and feel threaten by it. That is her reason why her last name is singhni instead of kaur.

I just saw an extract from the late 1700's referring to Sikh women as Sikhnis. This was written by a European. So it isn't a new phenomena.
