Sindhi is an ethnolinguistic, Indo-Aryan group, native to the Sindh province of Pakistan and India. The hardworking, dependable, and peaceful people of this community have names inspired profoundly by Sufi principles and doctrines. No wonder Sindhi names are so soothing and pleasing to the ears.
The Sindhi Hindus residing in India follow a modified form of the patronymic naming system, which usually ends in the suffix –ani. This suffix denotes descent from a male ancestor. Other naming experts opine that the suffix –ani is a Sindhi variation of Sanskrit word ‘ansh’, which means ‘descended from’. As for the first part of a Sindhi surname, it’s derived from the name of the region the ancestor was born in. Some people even add the first name of their great grandfather to the suffix –ani and adopt it as a family name.
In Northern Sindh, which falls in Pakistan, surnames ending in ‘ja’, which means ‘of’, are also common. Basically, the surname consists of a person’s native village followed by the suffix ‘ja’. Now that MomJunction has acquainted you with the naming conventions of Sindhis let’s take a look at some of Sindhi names for boys and girls below.
