Nimrat
Nimrat Origin and Meaning
Nimrat is a feminine name with Punjabi and Sikh origins, derived from Sanskrit elements. In Punjabi tradition, "nim" refers to humility or modesty, while "rat" means attached or devoted to, creating the beautiful meaning "devoted to humility" or "one who is humble." The name has particular significance in Sikh communities, where humility is considered an important virtue. Nimrat gained some international recognition through Indian actress Nimrat Kaur, though it remains relatively uncommon outside South Asian communities. The name has a melodious quality with its flowing consonants and crisp ending, and its two-syllable structure makes it accessible for varied cultural contexts. For families with Punjabi or Sikh heritage, Nimrat offers a meaningful connection to cultural values while being distinctive yet pronounceable in multicultural settings.
