Sat Nam Sandra,

 

What a beautiful name you have! Jiwan means soul (spirit), so your name

would mean, "princess of the soul" and your husband's "lion of the soul".

 

Peace and blessings,

Satsang Kaur

I can't really say exactly about "jiwan," being that my knowledge is in

Sanskrit rather than Gurmukhi, but since Gurmukhi is relatavely closely

derived from Sanskrit, I'd like to explain something about the Sanskrit

"jiva." First of all, the words jiva, atman, and brahman all refer to the

same subject. The living entity is the soul, and the soul is the living

entity. There is also no absolute distinction between atman and brahman.

However, in the different stages of material/spiritual realization, these

are felt differently. The jiva is focused on living life in the world. The

atman is individual consciousness, one with, but separate from others,

experiencing pervasiveness within a particular identity. Brahman is the

same living soul, but experiences complete all-pervasiveness. So jiva,

atman, and brahman are all the same pure spirit soul, but the focus is

different. Checking in the Cologne Digital Sanskrit Lexicon

http://www.uni-koeln.de/phil-fak/indologie/tamil/mwd_search.html we find

that the word "jiva" emphasizes "living entity." Then again, that's

Sanskrit rather than Gurmukhi.
