Nimrat meaning
Nimrat (ਨਿਮਰਤ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Humility, meekness; freedom from pride
Also used to mean: humble
Nimrat (ਨਿਮਰਤ) comes from nimratā, humility, which the Mahan Kosh defines as meekness and freedom from pride; it goes back to Sanskrit namratā, bowing. Humility is one of the virtues Sikh teaching prizes most. In his Chaubole, Guru Arjan points to the lowly, humble mud in which the lotus grows (Ang 1364). Name lists give Nimrat as "humble" or "humility", which matches the source. It is a girls' name in Sikh families. Well-known bearers include the actress Nimrat Kaur and the Punjabi singer Nimrat Khaira.
