Mansimran meaning
Mansimran (ਮਨਸਿਮਰਨ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin, used for both girls and boys.
Simran, remembrance of God, held in the man, mind
Also used to mean: meditating with the heart
Mansimran (ਮਨਸਿਮਰਨ) joins man, the mind or heart, with simran, remembrance. The Mahan Kosh traces simran to Sanskrit smaraṇa, recollection, and in Sikh practice it means keeping God's Name in mind through meditation. Man is the mind and inner self. The name therefore speaks of remembrance of God held in the heart, and name lists give it as one who meditates with the heart. It is a modern name, close to Simran and Harsimran, and is given to both girls and boys.
