Detailed explanation-1: -"Kaur” is also sometimes translated as “lioness", not because this meaning is etymologically derived from the name, but as a parallel to the Sikh male name “Singh, ‘’ which means “lion.” “Kaur” is recognized as “Princess” or “Spiritual Princess".

Detailed explanation-2: -To form a single Sikh family, they have all acquired the Sikh names Singh (Lion, for men) and Kaur (Princess, for women).

Detailed explanation-3: -Kaur literally means boy or son and is the title given to a prince. In Sikhism Kaur is generally interpreted to mean princess. Kaur is a suffix attached to the name of every female Sikh either at birth or upon rebirth, when initiated as Khalsa.

Detailed explanation-4: -The middle name is the religious name: boys and men are called Singh (or lion); girls and women are Kaur (or princess). First and religious names are normally used together. The family or sub-caste name indicates caste position. Since the Sikh religion opposes caste, Sikhs traditionally do not use their family name.
