Singh

Singh Hindi: सिंह singh, (Punjabi: ਸਿੰਘ, Gujarati: સિંહ sinh) is derived from the Sanskrit word Siṃha meaning "lion". It is a common title, middle name, or surname in Northern India used initially by the Kshatriyas (warriors). In 1699 the name was adopted in Punjab by adherents of the Sikh faith, according to the wishes of Guru Gobind Singh. While others have a choice of using Singh as a name, for all Sikhs the second name Singh is mandatory - regardless of their geographical or cultural binding. The surname was later widely adopted by other groups of India like Yadavs and Jats. It is of interest to note that some Brahmins like Bhumihar Brahmins (see Kingdom of Kashi and Royal House of Benares) and Maithil Brahmins (see History of Mithila) also use this name. "Singh" has gradually emerged as a hereditary title to be used as a middle name, highlighting connections to a warrior status or occupation. However, this is not an exclusive usage, and many Hindu groups including Scheduled Castes and Vaishya have adopted this title without any significant warrior status or ties. From Wikipedia under the
