The story of the Jaisinghani surname

The Jaisinghani surname belonged to Sindhi Diwan (administrative) families of upper Sindh. History of Hindus in Sind by Diwan Bherumal M. Advani records Jaisinghani families settled at the village of Taeb, in the Ratodero–Larkana belt, among the Diwans "scattered throughout the villages" after Pathan raids drove people to seek refuge. The nukh (clan) is reported by family as Jaisingh, fitting the Sindhi -ani pattern — "of the line of Jaisingh." After 1947, families bearing the name rebuilt across the diaspora.
