What is the meaning of the name Simran ?

The baby name Simran is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SIM-run.

Simran is Hindi, Punjabi, Sanskrit in Origin.

Simran is a Punjabi and North Indian name from Sanskrit smaraṇa, स्मरण, an action noun built on the verbal root √smṛ, to remember, with the nominal suffix -aṇa. Its earliest securely identifiable form is Sanskrit smaraṇa, whose literal sense is remembrance, recollection, or calling to mind. In Punjabi and Hindi pronunciation, the cluster sm- was simplified to sim-, giving Simran.

The name is especially associated with Sikh practice, where simran denotes meditative remembrance of the divine Name, a theme central to the Guru Granth Sahib. It also circulates among Hindu and broader Indian families in Punjabi, Hindi, Marathi, and diaspora settings, though it is chiefly feminine as a given name. Related forms include Smaran and Simar; compounds such as Simranjeet and Simranjit are common in Sikh naming. In the United States, SSA data show a peak around 2000–2001 followed by lower use.
