Sukhchain meaning
Sukhchain (ਸੁਖਚੈਨ) is a Sikh boy's name of Punjabi origin.
Sukh (happiness, comfort) joined with chain (ease, peace of mind)
Sukhchain (ਸੁਖਚੈਨ) pairs two words for well-being. Sukh, from Sanskrit sukha, is happiness, comfort and bliss, and it opens many Sikh names such as Sukhdeep and Sukhpreet. Chain is ease or peace of mind; the Mahan Kosh glosses it as happiness and calm, and on Ang 674 of the Guru Granth Sahib Guru Arjan says that the mind is soothed when it repeats the Name of God. Sukh-chain is also an everyday Punjabi and Hindi pairing for a settled, untroubled life. The name means happiness and peace, as name lists also say. It is a traditional Sikh boys' name. The Mahan Kosh also records Sukhchain as the name of a younger son of Tilok Singh, who founded a village of that name and died in 1751.
