Did you know?

  • The word ਮੇਰਾ (mera) is a close relative of the word used in Romani (the language of the Romani people), specifically the word 'miro'.
  • In Punjabi, the word ਨਾਮ (naam) is often used in poetic or religious contexts to refer to the 'Divine Name' or the essence of God, rather than just a personal identifier.
  • The word ਮੇਰਾ (mera) is grammatically tied to the gender of the noun 'name', so even if you are female, the word 'my' remains in the masculine form because ਨਾਮ is a masculine noun.

Examples in context

  • ਮੇਰਾ ਨਾਂ ਅਰਮਾਨ ਹੈ।
    My name is Armaan.
  • ਮੇਰਾ ਨਾਮ ਅਮਨ ਹੈ।
    merā nām aman hai.
