For their children, Sikhs frequently choose names from the Guru Granth Sahib. During the naming ceremony, a passage from the Sikh Holy Book, known as the ‘hukam,’ is read, and the first letter of the first word from the hukam is chosen as the child’s name’s initial. When the child’s name is decided, the Bhai Sahib, who sits in front of the Guru Granth Sahib, announces the child’s name to all. The boy’s name is given the surname Singh, and the girl’s name is given the surname Kaur.
