Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh

I have been intrigued by this word a lot of times, but I haven't found any answer as what exactly it is! In Sri Guru Granth Sahib, all the stress upon remembering it, all the time, 24X7, but what exactly is it?

What exactly is NAAM???
 
Can any Guru's Sikh explain this to me, as my limited box of thoughts cannot imagine anything...

Waheguru ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru ji ki Fateh!!

Naam in simple words to understand and implement is Rabbi Gunn-Godly Qualities. Naam jappan da arth eh nahi ki kise lafaz da ratan karna, Naam japna is Reading baani, understanding it and living accordingly. Taan samjhiye ki asi naam japde paye haan i.e. rabbi gunna te pooran uttar rahe haan ji...

Respected Jujhar ji,  Please qualify your statement by giving point to point reference from Gurbani or Bani of any other Saint. Otherwise it is just our / your views, and basic question what is Naam stands unsolved.

It is the article satnam written by vrji. Read first two paragraphs. it might help to understand what is naam.

Pray Truth for all and say Satsriakaal!
Dear all!

All Sikh preachers and Baabaas say that it is written in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Jee. They go on reading it. May I ask when they will come to know this?

Dear all and Angel Jee!

Did Gurdev say once, to become ideal human being? Please provide a reference if someone has found so.

This is a different matter that one becomes an ideal individual through true Naam Simran.
