What is the meaning of the name Paramvir ?

The baby name Paramvir is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced puh-RAHM-veer.

Paramvir is Hindi, Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Paramvir (Punjabi/Gurmukhi ਪਰਮਵੀਰ) blends Sanskrit param(a), “supreme” or “highest,” with vīra/veer, “hero, brave one.” The compound therefore carries the sense of “supreme hero,” “most valiant,” or “ultimate bravery,” evoking courage joined to moral excellence and the protection of dharma. It is used across North India, especially in Punjabi and Sikh communities, and is typically masculine.

Usage has strong cultural resonance in the Sikh martial tradition; the modern prominence of the phrase Param Vir (as in India’s highest military decoration, the Param Vir Chakra) has further reinforced the name’s heroic aura. Common variants and spellings include Paramveer, Param Veer, Parmvir, Parambir/Param Bir, and the hypocoristics Param and Veer; related forms are Vir/Veer and Bir. The name sees steady use in the diaspora (UK, Canada, US) and often appears in compounds such as Paramvir Singh.
