Meaning of Zorawar
Zorawar bursts onto the tongue like a spirited salsa beat—zo-ruh-WAHR—and, true to its Punjabi roots, it means “full of power.” Legend nods to young Sahibzada Zorawar Singh, the brave son of Guru Gobind Singh, whose courage still echoes through Sikh history, while adventurers may picture General Zorawar Singh mapping the Himalayas with the swagger of a conquistador. Parents in the U.S. have been catching the rhythm—just 8 boys wore the name in 2015, but nearly a hundred strutted out of maternity wards in 2024—proof that strength never goes out of style. Zorawar feels mighty yet friendly, like a bear hug wrapped in armor, and it gifts a boy a ready-made story: be bold, stand tall, dance to your own drum.
