Re: IMPORTANT: the name simran

simran means rosary i think, the beaded tasbeeh. It is a hindu name. the muslim name u may be confusing it ith is simra/samra

Re: IMPORTANT: the name simran

actually i just looked it up and it means meditation/remembrance so i supposed it means 'tasbeeh karna' in urdu. Where an islamic name would be prefered i guess u could use a hindi name so long as it means well. people use persian, russan, french names without thinking twice so why not hindi.

Simran means prayer. It is a word from Gurmukhi or the language in which Guru Nanak Dev wrote Sabad or verses. Sikh women have this name. For Sikh men it can be like 'Simranjit Singh Mann"
