Gurkirtan Name Meaning

The name 'Gurkirtan' is of Indian, specifically Punjabi, origin. The name is predominantly given to Sikh boys.

'Gurkirtan' is actually a combination of two terms, 'Gur' and 'Kirtan'. 'Gur' is derived from 'Guru' which means 'teacher' or 'leader' in Sanskrit and is used in various Indian languages.

So, together, 'Gurkirtan' might signify 'praising or singing the teachings of the Guru'.
