Good question Anonymous Ji,
Hindi, Punjabi and Urdu have been the languages of Punjab Region (India+ Pakistan) before the partition of India (1947) for centuries. In speaking there isn’t much difference in these languages. Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims resided in this area culminating a Punjabi culture
Many Hindus and Muslims loved Guru Nanak’s phylosophy and became Guru Nanak’s followers ie Sikhs. Thats why many Hindu and Sikh names are almost the same including the many names of Akaal Purkh. Sikh Scriptures SGGS is written in Gurmukhi script and contain many lanuages.
There is no reservation of name by any sect or religion.
This keeps on changing with time.
Instead of concluding from name, one should study the full Shabad and try to understand, that in what context that has been referred.
This will help in better understanding of Gurbani.
