Detailed explanation-1: -The Singh surname derives from the Sanskrit simha, meaning “lion.” It was originally used by Rajput Hindus and is still a common surname for many North Indian Hindus. Sikhs, as a community, have adopted the name as a suffix to their own name, so you’ll find it used as a surname by many of the Sikh faith.

Detailed explanation-2: -Singh (IPA: /ˈsɪŋ/) is a title, middle name or surname that means “lion” in various South Asian and Southeast Asian communities.

Detailed explanation-3: -Indian (northern states): originally a Kshatriya name but now widely adopted by Sikhs and other communities from Sanskrit siṃha ‘lion’ hence ‘hero’ or ‘eminent person’.
