Singh means a lion, men are perceived as strong courageous warriors and so given this name, they have to be ready to fight and protect and keep peace. Kaur means a princess. In Sikhism these titles eliminate discrimination based on “family name” (which denotes a specific caste) and reinforces that all Sikhs are sovereigns under God.
This tradition started because through the last name one could distinguish what caste you are from. That's why the guru eliminated it.
