Prabhsimran meaning
Prabhsimran (ਪ੍ਰਭਸਿਮਰਨ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Prabh (the Lord) joined with simran (remembrance): remembrance of God
Also used to mean: love of God
Prabhsimran (ਪ੍ਰਭਸਿਮਰਨ) joins prabh, the Lord, with simran. Simran, from Sanskrit smaraṇa, is remembrance; the Mahan Kosh explains it in Gurbani as keeping the Name and qualities of the beloved in mind with full attention, and the phrase ਹਰਿ ਸਿਮਰਨ appears at Ang 189. Prabhsimran therefore means "remembrance of God", the central Sikh practice of meditating on the Name. Name lists give "remembrance" or "love of God". It is used for boys and girls; the Punjab Kings opening batter Prabhsimran Singh is a well-known bearer.
