What is the meaning of the name Sarvinder ?

Sarvinder is Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Sarvinder is a Punjabi and broader North Indian given name rooted in Sanskrit. It combines sarva (all, entire, universal) with Indra/Inder, epithet of the Vedic king of gods, later generalized in Sikh and Punjabi naming to signify lordship, sovereignty, or heroic power. The name thus conveys “lord of all,” “one whose power is universal,” or “aligned with the all‑pervading sovereign,” reflecting ideals of completeness and strength.

Used by Sikhs and other Punjabis for both genders (e.g., Sarvinder Singh or Sarvinder Kaur), it follows the 20th‑century trend of -inder compounds (Gurvinder, Harvinder, Parminder). The name is found across the Indian diaspora in the UK, Canada, and the U.S. Variant spellings include Sarwinder (reflecting Punjabi v/w interchange) and Sarvendra (a Sanskritized masculine form), with short forms Inder, Vinder, or Sarv. Related names with the same semantic base include Sarabjit and Sarabpreet, where Punjabi Sarab parallels Sanskrit Sarva.
