'''Kaur''' means "princess" and is a name that should used as the last name by female Sikhs. This custom was first introduced in 1699 by [[Guru Gobind Singh]], the tenth Sikh Guru when he administered Amrit(baptism) to both males and female Sikhs. All female Sikhs were asked to use the name Kaur after their forename and males were to use the name Singh, meaning "lion". This custom further confirmed equality to both genders as was the tradition set by the founder of Sikhism, Guru Nanak. For a sikh born family kaur is automatically introduced to as a last name.

But today girls are removing kaur out from there names and put their surnames or clans instead of kaur. This tendency has mainly risen up in punjab.Kaur is of less reference to them then their surname.

This shows the discrimination as guru jee provide the name to all female not to discriminate on the basis of caste and they provide the name '''kaur''', that every female is princess here but the sikh women do not accept this last name.
