History & Origin

Joravar is a Punjabi and Sikh name, a spelling of Zorawar, built on Persian zor ('strength') to mean 'powerful, mighty'. It carries real weight in Sikh memory through Sahibzada Zorawar Singh and General Zorawar Singh Kahluria, and travels with Punjabi families worldwide (said 'JOR-uh-var').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S., mostly in Punjabi and Sikh families. Rare, heritage-rich, and strong.

Did you know? Zorawar Singh is remembered twice over in Punjabi history — as a young sahibzada, a son of Guru Gobind Singh, and as the nineteenth-century general who led campaigns into Ladakh and Tibet (said 'JOR-uh-var').
