Veerpal meaning
Veerpal (ਵੀਰਪਾਲ) is a Sikh girl's name of Punjabi origin (from Sanskrit), also used for boys.
Vīr (brave; brother) joined with pāl (protector)
Veerpal (ਵੀਰਪਾਲ) joins vīr with pāl. Vīr, Sanskrit vīra, is a brave warrior or hero, and in everyday Punjabi a brother, a sense the Mahan Kosh also records; the Guru Granth Sahib uses the form bīr (Ang 203). Pāl, from the Sanskrit root pāl, to protect, means a protector or sustainer, and appears in the Gurbani word pratipāl, the one who cherishes and sustains (Ang 45). The parts give "brave protector". Veerpal is a well-established Punjabi name for women, written with Kaur, and it is also used for men.
