Satbir meaning
Satbir (ਸਤਬੀਰ) is a Sikh and Hindu boy's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit).
Sat (truth) joined with bīr (warrior, brave): brave in truth
Also used to mean: true warrior
Satbir (ਸਤਬੀਰ) joins sat, truth, with bīr, the Punjabi form of Sanskrit vīra. The Mahan Kosh gives vīr as a brave warrior, and also as a brother or friend; the form ਬੀਰ appears in the Guru Granth Sahib at Ang 203. Sat is truth, and in Sikh usage the True One. The name means "warrior of truth" or "brave in truth", and Sikh name lists give it as "the true warrior". Satbir is a boys' name in Sikh and Punjabi Hindu families, also spelt Satveer or Satvir.
