sidhu

Sidhu is a Punjabi surname and clan name widely found among Sikhs and Punjabi Hindus in the Punjab region of India and among diaspora communities abroad. The name is associated with a Jat clan traditionally prominent in rural Punjab, and individuals bearing the name are found in many professions across India and in immigrant communities in Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia.

Notable figures with the surname include Navjot Singh Sidhu (born 1963), a former Indian international cricketer who later entered politics and held public office. Another widely known bearer is Sidhu Moose Wala, birth name Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu (1993–2022), a prominent Punjabi singer, rapper, and actor whose work gained broad popularity in the Punjabi music scene.

Beyond these individuals, Sidhu is a common surname across Punjabi families, reflecting regional and cultural ties rather than a single occupation or tradition. The name appears in various transliterations and is carried by people in multiple countries due to migration and diasporic communities.
