Zorawar

Zorawar is a name used particularly in Punjabi and Sikh communities, with a meaning connected to strength and power. Its word history is associated with Persian zor, strength, and the formation zoravar. The name is especially significant through Sahibzada Zorawar Singh, one of Guru Gobind Singh’s sons.

Zorawar Singh and his younger brother Fateh Singh are remembered in Sikh history for their deaths at Sirhind while still children. This gives the name a specific religious and historical resonance beyond its literal sense of strength. Zoravar is an alternative spelling, with w and v reflecting different ways of representing the sound. Families may choose it to honor that tradition, a relative, or the valued quality expressed by its meaning.
