Gurseerat meaning
Gurseerat (ਗੁਰਸੀਰਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin.
Gur (the Guru) joined with sīrat (disposition, character)
Gurseerat (ਗੁਰਸੀਰਤ) joins gur, the Guru, with sīrat, an Arabic word that the Mahan Kosh gives as disposition, nature and habit. The name can be read as "having the Guru's character". Name lists give quite different meanings, such as "hymn of praise", which the word sīrat does not carry, so we keep to the meaning of the parts. It is a modern girl's name; Gursirat is another spelling.
