Meaning & origin
Nimrat is a relatively recent addition to American naming charts, first recorded in 2007. Its popularity has been rising since then, with a notable peak in 2018. The name saw best usage in California, reflecting its cultural roots in the Indian and Punjabi diaspora. While still uncommon (1 in 84,593 births), its upward trajectory and association with humility make it a meaningful choice for families seeking a name with cultural depth.
Nimrat is a name of Indian origin, specifically common in Punjabi and Sikh communities. It is likely derived from Sanskrit, possibly from the word 'nimrata' meaning 'humility' or 'modesty'. The name has been in modern use since the early 2000s, primarily among families in India and the diaspora.
