History & Origin

Gursifat is a Sikh Punjabi name built from two elements: Gur, referring to the Guru, and sifat, a word of Arabic origin long naturalized in Punjabi, meaning 'praise, attribute, quality.' Together it is read as 'praise of the Guru' or 'the Guru's qualities.' Gur- names form a large and living family in Sikh naming, alongside Gurpreet, Gurleen and Gursimran, and are given to girls and boys alike. We note the devotional sense respectfully (said 'gur-SIH-fat').

In the U.S. it appears only in very small numbers. Rare here, familiar in Sikh Punjabi communities.

Did you know? Gur- names form a whole family in Sikh naming - Gurpreet, Gurleen, Gursimran - each joining the Guru to another word, and in Gursifat that word is sifat, 'praise.'
