Meaning and origin of Gurnaam
Gurnaam is a spelling of Gurnam, from Gur, 'Guru', and naam, 'name'. In Sikhism naam refers to the divine Name, meditation on which (naam simran) is central to spiritual life. The double-a spelling shows the long vowel and is common in modern romanisation. Both spellings are pronounced the same way, and the name is given to both men and women. Its focus on the divine Name ties it to one of the most important practices in Sikh life, the repetition of Waheguru.
