Sukhbir meaning
Sukhbir (ਸੁਖਬੀਰ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), also used for girls.
Sukh (happiness, peace) joined with bīr (brave warrior)
Also used to mean: warrior of peace
Sukhbir (ਸੁਖਬੀਰ) joins sukh with bīr. Sukh is happiness, comfort and inner peace in the Mahan Kosh, a word that appears from the Japji onward (Ang 1). Bīr, the Punjabi form of Sanskrit vīra, is a brave warrior, and also a brother. The name is usually explained as "warrior of peace" or "brave and happy". It is chiefly a boys' name in Sikh families, also spelt Sukhveer, and some women carry it with Kaur. Sukhbir Singh Badal, a former Deputy Chief Minister of Punjab, is a well-known bearer.
