Simran is a name of Sanskrit origin, derived from the word *smarana* meaning "remembrance" or "meditation," particularly the practice of remembering the divine in Sikh and Hindu traditions. Notable bearers include Simran Singh, a prominent Indian actress known for her work in Punjabi cinema, and Simran, a celebrated playback singer who has recorded thousands of songs in multiple Indian languages. While the name doesn't have direct place connections, its spiritual roots resonate deeply with the Sikh community worldwide. In Scotland, Simran has steadily grown in popularity since the 1990s, most often given to girls, though it remains a unisex name. A related variant, Simranjeet,
