Singh (IPA: / ˈ s ɪ ŋ / SING) is a title, middle name, or surname that means "lion" in various South Asian and Southeast Asian communities.

People belonging to a particular gotra may not be of the same caste (as there are many gotras which are part of different castes) in the Hindu social system. However, there is a notable exception among matrilineal Tulu speakers, for whom the lineages are the same across the castes. People of the same gotra are generally not allowed to marry.
An example of this practice in-action is a trend of Mazhabis adopting Jat Sikh clan names as their surname in an attempt to seek higher social statues by affiliating themselves with Jats. [21] Atheists from Sikh-backgrounds may prefer to use a caste-name instead of Singh or Kaur as the latter is too affiliated to the Sikh religion.
