A giani or gyani (Punjabi: ਗਿਆਨੀ (Gurmukhi), meaning "wise one") is traditionally an honorific Sikh title used by someone learned in Sikhism, often someone who leads the congregation in prayers, and it is now an academic qualification in Punjabi language and literature. The word gyan means "knowledge" in Punjabi, being a derivative of the Sanskrit word jnana.
