Sukhmani

Meaning of Sukhmani

Sukhmani, a feminine name rooted in Punjabi and Sanskrit traditions, literally combines sukh (peace) and mani (jewel), often rendered as “jewel of peace” or “peace of mind.” It lends its title to the Sikh scripture Sukhmani Sahib, reinforcing associations of serene reflection and spiritual balance. In the United States its use has been modest but consistent: six newborns in 2024 (rank 944), with a peak of twenty in 2011 (rank 927), and yearly counts rarely exceeding a dozen. Its rarity means bearers are unlikely to share their name in a classroom, a subtle nod to its appeal for parents prioritizing cultural depth over ubiquity.
