History & Origin

Nirvair means 'without enmity; free of hatred' in Punjabi. It is one of the divine qualities named in the Mool Mantar, the founding verse of Sikh scripture, where the divine is described as nirbhau — without fear — and nirvair — without hatred. Names drawn from that verse carry considerable meaning in Sikh families, and we set it down respectfully. It is used for girls and boys alike (said 'nir-VAIR').

In the U.S. it appears only rarely, mostly in Punjabi Sikh families. Rare, weighty, and devotional.

Did you know? Nirvair appears in the very first verse of Sikh scripture, the Mool Mantar, where the divine is called nirbhau ('without fear') and nirvair ('without hatred') — two words that have become names in their own right.
