Meaning & Origin
Simrat is a girl's baby name of Punjabi origin, from the Punjabi Sikh words sim ('to remember, to meditate') and rat ('imbued with, absorbed in'), meaning 'one immersed in the remembrance of God' or 'devotion through constant remembrance.' Simran (the meditative practice of remembering God's name) is central to Sikh spiritual life.
Simrat is used in Punjabi Sikh communities across India and in the global Sikh diaspora. It carries an extraordinary depth of spiritual meaning — naming a child after the act of divine remembrance itself, hoping that her entire life will be characterized by that quality of deep, loving attention to the sacred.
