Sikh/Punjabi names

[dallysingh101]

I've always like Mehtab. Then one day I met a Turkish girl called Mehtap. I learned it is quite a common name in many cultures and probably comes from Farsi, it means moonlight.

Iqbaal, Amar and other names which are shared by Muslims and Sikhs 

I have always found people named 'Kabul Singh' or 'Kashmira Singh/Kaur' or even 'Panjab Kaur' funny names

Peshaura and Multana were also used used by Sikh males.  

Kunwar Pashaura Singh (1821 – 11 September 1845) (also spelled Peshawara Singh) Sometimes styled as Shahzada was the younger son of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and Rani Daya Kaur.

Kunwar Multana Singh Bahadur, sometimes styled as Shahzada (1819 - 1846) was the son of Ranjit Singh, Maharaja of Sikh Empire and Rani Ratan Kaur.He was said to be the son of a Muslim slave girl in the household of Maharani Datar Kaur , by an attendant in the zenana. He was procured by Ratan Kaur and presented to and accepted by Ranjit Singh as her son

I think these things were done symbolically to celebrate victories over regions by the Lahore darbar.

I would be dubious of such stories because many falsehoods were spread by the British to try and paint the Sikh royal family members as illegitimate so as to support their own claim to Punjab after annexation.
