Gurshabad meaning
Gurshabad (ਗੁਰਸ਼ਬਦ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
The Guru's word; the Guru's hymn or teaching
Gurshabad (ਗੁਰਸ਼ਬਦ) means the Guru's word. Shabad, written sabad in the scripture, comes from Sanskrit śabda; the Mahan Kosh gives it as sound or voice, a word, the Guru's teaching, the Divine itself, and a hymn of the Guru Granth Sahib. In everyday Sikh use a shabad is a hymn from the scripture, sung in the gurdwara. The phrase gur sabad appears many times in the Guru Granth Sahib; on Ang 362 Guru Amar Das speaks of reflecting on the utterly pure Word of the Guru. Gurshabad is a modern Sikh boys' name. The Punjabi singer and actor Gurshabad, who began his singing career with "Vaar Bhagat Singh" (2015), is a well-known bearer.
