Lakhbir meaning
Lakhbir (ਲਖਬੀਰ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
Bīr, a brave warrior, with lakh, a hundred thousand: brave as many
Also used to mean: as brave as a hundred thousand, brave among many
Lakhbir (ਲਖਬੀਰ) joins lakh with bīr, a brave warrior. Lakh is the Indian number for a hundred thousand, and the Mahan Kosh glosses ਲਖ as numerous or countless; Guru Nanak uses it in the first stanza of the Japji on Ang 1, where even lakhs of clever tricks will not go with a person. Bīr is the Punjabi form of vīr, a hero. Name lists give Lakhbir as one as brave as a hundred thousand, or brave among many. Lakhvir is the same name. It is a traditional boys' name.
