Iknoor meaning
Iknoor (ਇਕਨੂਰ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin.
Ik, the One, joined with nūr, light: the light of the One
Also used to mean: divine light
Iknoor (ਇਕਨੂਰ) puts together ik, one, and nūr, light. Ik is the One of Sikh belief, which the Mahan Kosh glosses as unique and as the Creator, and nūr is an Arabic word for light that the Mahan Kosh also records as a name of God. The name echoes Kabir's line on Ang 1349 of the Guru Granth Sahib: the whole world came from one light, so who is good and who is bad? Name lists give Iknoor as divine light or the light of the One God. It is mainly a girl's name; Eknoor is another spelling.
