What is the meaning of the name Jogindar Kaur ?

Jogindar Kaur is Punjabi in Origin.

Jogindar Kaur combines a devotional Punjabi given name with the Sikh women’s honorific-surname. Jogindar (often spelled Joginder) stems from Sanskrit Yogendra - yoga “union, disciplined practice” + indra “lord, chief” - conveying “lord/master of yoga” or “one aligned with divine union.” In Punjabi and related Indo-Aryan languages, the initial y commonly shifts to j, yielding the Jog- form. In Sikh tradition, such God-centered or virtue-based forenames are frequently unisex, used for both men and women.

Kaur, meaning “princess,” was instituted by Guru Gobind Singh in 1699 as the standard surname for Sikh women, signaling equality and spiritual sovereignty; the compound thus reads as “[Jogindar] Kaur.” The name appears in Punjab and widely across the Sikh diaspora (UK, Canada, USA). Variants include Joginder Kaur, Jogindra Kaur, Jogender Kaur, and the transliteration Jogindar Kour; related etymological cognate: Yogendra. Common nicknames and diminutives may be Jogi or Joga.
