Meaning & Origin

Mankirat is a girl's and boy's baby name of Punjabi origin meaning 'praises of God' or 'one who praises the divine,' from the Punjabi man (mind, heart) and kirat (praise, work of God). It is a Sikh name reflecting the Gurbani tradition of devotional praise.

In Sikh tradition, kirat karni — honest work and praise of God — is one of the three pillars of the faith. Mankirat names a daughter for this foundational Sikh virtue, choosing a name that is simultaneously a prayer, a declaration, and a life's purpose.
