     ੴ ਸਤਿ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਰਤਾ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨਿਰਭਉ ਨਿਰਵੈਰੁ ਅਕਾਲ ਮੂਰਤਿ ਅਜੂਨੀ ਸੈਭੰ ਗੁਰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ

     ek oaṅkār sat nām kartā purakh nirbhau nirvaer akāl mūrt ajūnī saebh̃ gur prasād

     One Universal Creator God. The Name Is Truth. Creative Being Personified. No Fear. No Hatred. Image Of The Undying, Beyond Birth, Self-Existent, By Guru's Grace.

From ੧ (1, “one”) +‎ ਓਮ (om, “God in Hinduism, Universe, Om”) +‎ ਕਾਰ (kār, “do”).

ੴ • (ek oṅkār) m (Shahmukhi spelling اِکّ اونکار)

1. (Sikhism) God (One Universal Creator)

   Synonyms: ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ (vāhigurū), ਰੱਬ (rabba)

The word "onkār", comes from the word "omkārā", a nickname of the Hindu God of Destruction, Shiva.

The Sikh symbol ek onkār represents the one supreme reality and is a central tenet of Sikh religious philosophy.
