Amarbir meaning
Amarbir (ਅਮਰਬੀਰ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
Amar (immortal) joined with bīr (brave warrior)
Also used to mean: eternal warrior, immortal brave
Amarbir (ਅਮਰਬੀਰ) is amar, "deathless, immortal", joined with bīr, the Punjabi form of Sanskrit vīra. The Mahan Kosh gives bīr as a brave warrior, and also as brother and friend; the word is used of God on Ang 203 of the Guru Granth Sahib. Name lists render Amarbir as "eternal warrior" or "immortal brave", in line with the parts. It is a boy's name in Sikh families; Amarveer is the same compound in its vīr spelling.
