Sikh s have a given name and one or both of a surname and a Khalsa name. The surname may be a family name or a caste name. A Sikh woman does not change her name when she marries. On becoming a Khalsa , the Sikh undertakes the obligation to wear the physical symbols of this status unshorn hair, turban, comb, steel bracelet, drawers, and dagger and takes the name lion , usually romanized as Singh, if a man, or kaur princess , usually romanized as Kaur, if a woman. Note that Singh is spelled irregularly it is written singh but pronounced si . These names reflect the strong egalitarianism of the Sikh religion. They were originally intended to replace the Sikh s original surname, which was often a caste name. Some Sikhs do replace their original surname with their Khalsa name, but many retain their original surname and add the Khalsa name before it. Thus, a man born sa d p bar r may become sa d p singh but more likely will become sa d p singh bar r . Similarly, a woman born harapar t gill may become harapar t kaur or harapar t kaur gill .
