Satwant meaning
Satwant (ਸਤਵੰਤ) is a Sikh unisex name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), used for both girls and boys.
Possessed of truth and integrity; truthful, steadfast in truth
Satwant (ਸਤਵੰਤ) is formed from sat, truth, and the suffix -vant, "possessing", the same ending found in Balwant and Jaswant. The Mahan Kosh, under ਸਤਵੰਤਾ, defines it as one who possesses truth and integrity, with self-restraint, and one who holds firmly to truth. Sat itself is truth and, in Sikh usage, the True One of the Mool Mantar. Name lists give "truthful" or "one who is true", which matches the source. Satwant is used for both men and women in Sikh families, with Kaur or Singh.
