Meaning and origin of Lakhveer
Lakhveer joins lakh, 'a hundred thousand', with vir, 'brave one'. In Sikh tradition the phrase sava lakh, 'one and a quarter lakh', recalls Guru Gobind Singh's saying that one Khalsa warrior would stand against a hundred and twenty-five thousand, so the name suggests the courage of a multitude. It is spelled Lakhvir or Lakhveer. The longer form Lakhwinder is a related, separate name built on the same first element.
