One who sings praises of God
Kirat is a name of Sanskrit origin primarily used in the Sikh and Hindu traditions. It refers to the act of singing hymns or offering divine praise, specifically associated with the 'Kirat Karo' pillar of Sikhism which emphasizes honest living and devotion. While traditionally used for both boys and girls, it is increasingly chosen for girls in the diaspora for its gentle sound and spiritual depth.
