Hundal

Hundal is a common surname found primarily among Sikhs in the Punjab region of India and within the Sikh diaspora. The name is typically associated with the Jat caste, a historically agrarian community known for its martial prowess and contributions to agriculture. While not definitively linked to a single village or ancestor, many Hundals trace their origins to the Majha region of Punjab. The name, like many Sikh surnames, likely evolved from a village name, ancestral occupation, or a title of honor held by a forebear. The surname is found amongst both agriculturalists and individuals in various professions around the world, reflecting the widespread migration of the Sikh community in the 20th and 21st centuries. Variations in spelling, such as Hundall, are also encountered.
