Best Answer

The tenth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji gave these titles of Sikhs. These titles goes as Singh for men and kaur for women, where Singh means Lion signifying Bravery and Kaur means Princess signifying beauty and grace. Sikhs used these titles as their middle name and all Sikh men have Singh as their middle name and all Sikh women have Kaur as their middle name. The importance of these titles are that it eliminates any sense of superiority of any men or women on any other especially considering the history of India's Caste System.

What does the word Kaur mean?

Clarification: The word Kaur means Princess. It is the middle name for all Sikh women and Singh is the Middle name for all Sikh men, which means Lion.Clarification Improved: Kaur and Singh are the Last Names not middle Names. All Sikh men are instructed to end their name with Singh ( Lion ) and all Sikh women to end their names as Kaur meaning ( Princess ). No Surnames allowed to be used with Names as per Sikh Rehat Maryada.However: In today's modern world every Sikh can't have the same last name, so they use it as their middle name instead of using it as their last name.Every Sikh must have same last name ( "singh" or "Kaur" ),whether it is past , present or future. This is the order of Guru Gobind Singh ji to every Sikh. Using caste / surnames along with your name is against the Sikhism.Explanation of above: The word Kaur means Princess. It was instructed by Guru Gobind Singh Ji that all Sikh women have it after their first name. It is used as both a last name and a middle name in different people's cases.For example:Someone can be called Harjeet KaurOrThey can also be called Harjeet Kaur Mahal
