Sapra

Sapra is a surname of Indian origin. It is most commonly found among Punjabi and Haryanvi speaking communities in northern India. The precise etymology is not clearly documented in standard reference sources; like many Indo-Aryan surnames, Sapra may reflect clan, village, or ancestral naming practices that evolved over generations.

In India, Sapra families are reported in states such as Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and western Uttar Pradesh. The name has also spread through migration and marriage, contributing to a Punjabi/Hindi-speaking diaspora in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Gulf states. In contemporary contexts, individuals bearing the Sapra surname are active in diverse professional fields, including business, medicine, engineering, education, and the arts. Spelling remains most commonly Sapra in English-language records, with variations arising from transliteration practices, though such variants are relatively uncommon.

As with many surnames, Sapra can be a marker of family history and regional origin. Genealogical research and civil records are typical sources for tracing lineage associated with the name.
