Its Wah + Guru = The Wonderful God
THis is from Wiki:
Waheguru (Punjabi: ਵਾਹਿਗੁਰੂ, vāhigurū or ਵਾਹਗੁਰੂ, vāhgurū; also transliterated Vahiguru)
It is the term most often used in Sikhism to refer to God, the Supreme Being or the creator of all. It means "The Wonderful Teacher" in the Punjabi language. 'Wah' translates to wonder and Guru (Sanskrit: गुरु), is a term denoting 'teacher'.
Waheguru is the distinctive name of the Supreme Being in the Sikh dispensation. In Sikh scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, the term does not figure in the compositions of the Gurus, though it occurs therein, both as Vahiguru and Vahguru, in the hymns of Bhatt Gayand, the bard contemporary with Guru Arjan, Nanak V (1553-1606), and also in the Varan of Bhai Gurdas.
The most common usage of the word Waheguru is in the greeting Sikhs use with each other:
Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa.
The Khalsa [pure ones] belongs to God.
Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh.
Victory belongs to God.
