About the name Simran
Simran is a girl name of Punjabi origin meaning "remembrance of God". It is most commonly used in Sikh families and is especially popular in India.
Simran comes from simran, the Sikh practice of remembering God through repetition of the divine name — a devotional discipline rather than a quality. It is one of the most recognisable Punjabi names internationally, helped by the 1995 film Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, whose heroine Simran made the name familiar far outside Punjab.
Popularity trend: Simran has held a steady level of use rather than spiking or fading.
