Meaning & origin
Simrat entered U.S. naming records in 1995, and by its peak year in 2012, it reached its highest rank. The name fell to rank 14,942 in 2025, with annual usage of about 1 in 321,453 female births. Its trajectory has been stable in recent years, showing neither a sharp rise nor a dramatic decline. While top states are not recorded due to low overall frequency, Simrat is most strongly associated with families of Punjabi Sikh heritage in the United States.
Simrat is derived from the Sanskrit root 'smṛ' (to remember) and the Punjabi/Sikh tradition of 'Simran', meaning meditation or remembrance of the Divine. It is a gender-neutral name, though in the United States it has been recorded predominantly for girls since 1995. The name is common among Punjabi Sikh families, reflecting spiritual devotion.
