Sikhs and hindus have similiar names spelled differently and with a different acsent for example:
For females :
Tan vi not tanveer
for men:

Frank...all abrahamic religions have similarities with eachother but nothing with hinduism.
So the reasons doesnt apply here,
Thanks

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Same names are changed based on region over 100-200 years etc

Khan - Chan - Can etc

Jesus - Esa

Ishmael - Ismail

Alaxander - Sikandar etc

As humans migrate over , the take their name with them but its changes in pronounciation ... and so new names are created ...

 

[KS]

Actually there are many names that are common among the Abrahamaic religions especially Islam and Christianity :

Ibrahim - Abraham,
Yakub - Jacob,
Musa - Moses,
Dawood - David etc etc.

nd in the same way there are many common names among Sikhs and Hindus,(both are dharmic religions)

Jitender - Jitendra,
Inderjit - Indrajit
Harvinder - Harender
and the surnames of sikhs like Arora,Saini,Gill are also very commonly used among Hindus.

you will find many persian words similar to Sanskrit words, the reason being Vedic Sanskrit is similar to Avestan, the forefather of persian.

For one, Zoroaster's persian name is ' Zarathustrah' which is defines as " Owner of Old camels" . anyone here with a basic knowledge of sanskrit will attest that Jara in sanskrit means old age/old
and Ushtrah (plural of ushtra) is the word for " camel " . You may also notice that the sanskrit word for camel (ushtra) is onomatopoeic and derived from the sound the camel makes.Hindi/urdu ' unt' is derived from ancient name 'ushtr'
