Kaur (Punjabi: ਕੌਰ;) in Sikhism (meaning: "Princess" and "Lioness") is a mandatory last name for female Sikhs. However, it is often used as a middle name.

Kaur is a name used by Sikh women either as the middle name, or as a last name. It can be regarded as a true surname.^{[citation needed]} The tenth guru of Sikhs, Guru Gobind Singh, made it mandatory for Sikh females to use the name Kaur and for Sikh males to use the name Singh, when he administered Amrit (baptism) to both males and female Sikhs. All female Sikhs were asked to use the name Kaur after their forename and males were to use the name Singh. (Since 'Kaur' means 'Princess'&'Lioness', it acts as a symbol of equality among males and females.) This custom further confirmed the equality of both genders as was the tradition set by the founder of Sikhism, Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It was intended to give women a sense of self-respect. Singh is also used by some females because Singh can be a last name. It is the most common last name used by Sikhs.
