Whats The Story Behind Your Name?

[Guest G.Kaur]

Mines really boring, i asked my mum why they called me Harpreet, apparently it's because it sounded nice!

But this is a good excuse to ask, does anyone know what my name means, some people have said it means to love everyone Har - Preet, but others have said it means to love god...

The Guru's Sikh keeps the Love of the Lord, and the Name of the Lord, in his mind. He loves You, O Lord, O Lord King.

I have a twin bro, and my letter frm the hukamnama came out as an A. Our word was Abinasee, so my bro was meant to be a B coz he was born last, but nobody wanted his name to begin with b, so they gave him a too. So I got Amrit and he got Ajit - which is really annoying coz we get called the AA twins

any one else wanna share the story behind their name?????

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Like Bhai Uttam Singh Ji I was also named by a Sant Mahapursh who visited our home and blessed us with their holy presence two days after I was born.

Mahapursh took a hukamnama and wrote it on a piece of paper, which my mother keeps in her room. Under the hukamnama he wrote my name - Rajinder Singh.

(Uttam Singh Ji maybe we were named by the same Mahapursh who was 'ik mik' with Waheguru?)

^ If you're going to ruin the fun, at least tell everyone how you got your name.

My log-in here is my pre-amrit Christian baptismal name plus Singh.

SGGSJ gave me Bh at amrit. I chose Bhavjeet because the description of the translation seemed like a powerful message. From the reactions that I've gotten, it's apparently an unusual choice.

^^ you could have gone for the freshie version of Wallace. Using Bh, Bhallace Singh , people in Punjab would have pronounced it perfectly

Jokes apart Bhavjeet is a nice name Singh

Well.. I was born in baroda city which is in Gujrat and my parents wanted to name me Baroda Singh.. lol jk... Anyeay,, they took hukamnama and letter "B" came out and my parents kept "Bikram" for me and no it doesn't end with patel

Friend of mine who is also member of this forum told me this one funny thing.. A boy in his local city was named Jermanjit Singh because his daddy lives in Germany
