Kaur

Kaur (Punjabi: ਕੌਰ [Gurmukhi] / کور [Shahmukhi]; lit. 'crown prince[ss]' or 'spiritual prince[ss]'), sometimes spelled as Kour, is a surname or a part of a personal name primarily used by the Sikh and some Hindu women of the Punjab region. It 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'.

For people with the name and other uses, see Kaur (disambiguation).
