Kaur

thumb|19th century depiction of a Sikh woman (a Kaur) from a Haveli Kaur ( [Gurmukhi] / [Shahmukhi]; ), sometimes spelled as Kour, is a surname or a part of a personal name primarily used by the Sikh and some Hindu women of the Punjab region. It is also sometimes translated as 'lioness', not because this meaning is etymologically derived from the name, but as a parallel to the Sikh male name Singh, which means 'lion'.
