Gurman meaning
Gurman (ਗੁਰਮਨ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Gur (the Guru) joined with man (mind, heart)
Also used to mean: heart of the Guru
Gurman (ਗੁਰਮਨ) joins gur, the Guru, with man, which the Mahan Kosh gives as the mind or inner faculty and also the heart. Name lists read it as "heart of the Guru" or "a mind devoted to the Guru", both following from the parts. It is used for both boys and girls, more often for boys.
