The story of the Punjabi surname

Punjabi is usually a regional identity label rather than a lineage surname. Some Sindhi families may carry Punjabi-connected surnames because of older Punjab-Sindh movement, Arora/Khatri histories, or Partition-era mixing, but “Punjabi” by itself is not a Sindhi nukh or caste. The result should ask for the family’s pre-Partition place and home language.
