The name of Jagmeet Singh's newborn baby has a beautiful meaning and he explained how part of it is "a title of royalty" that "symbolizes her sovereignty."

Speaking to Narcity, Singh gave some insight into the meaning behind his daughter's name along with how he hopes she feels when she hears and says it.

Singh and Gurkiran Kaur's baby was born on January 3, 2022, and a month later, Kaur celebrated her daughter being one month old by revealing what they named her and its meaning.

She said at the time that she and Singh had "many long conversations" with their loved ones before deciding on the name Anhad (pronounced un-hud) Kaur.

Singh told Narcity that the name Anhad means "infinite" and "the unstruck melody of the universe."

He said that he wants his daughter to grow up with a name that reminds her that "she is infinite" whenever she hears or says it.

With the second part of her name, Singh revealed that Kaur means "one who inherits power."

"It's a title of royalty given to all Sikh women. It symbolizes her sovereignty — she is free and complete just the way she is," he said.

For International Women's Day 2022, Singh also told Narcity what he loves about his wife and what his hopes are for his baby girl.

"I love that Gurkiran rises to any challenge while keeping a fun-loving spirit. She's fierce and fun," Singh said. "A great role model for our daughter."

He said he hopes Anhad lives a full life, pursues her dreams and always remembers that everyone is connected!
