Arshveer is a name of Indian origin, specifically from the Punjab region. It is a combination of two words: "arsh" and "veer". "Arsh" means "lion", while "veer" translates to "brave". Therefore, Arshveer literally means "brave like a lion".
The name Arshveer has a rich history in Punjabi culture. It was traditionally given to boys born into Sikh or Hindu families who wished for their child to grow up to be strong, courageous, and noble. The name has been passed down through generations and remains popular among Punjabi families today.
Arshveer is also associated with the tenth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh Ji. He had a son named Ajai Singh who was later known as Arshveer Singh after his father granted him the title "Singh" (meaning "lion"). This further added to the prestige and significance of the name.
In recent years, Arshveer has gained popularity beyond its traditional Punjabi community. It is now recognized and used worldwide, particularly among families looking for unique yet meaningful names for their children. Despite its growing global recognition, Arshveer remains deeply rooted in its Punjabi heritage and cultural significance.
The name Arshveer had a notable presence with five babies being named Arshveer each in both 2012 and 2015.
