Sindhi Surnames or Family Names
If we consider contribution of Sindhis for the human world population surely this will not be more than 1% of entire but this is also fact that it is almost next to impossible to locate a geographical region or nation without Sindhi population this is a distinct indication for most dispersed status of Sindhi community.
Besides being the front runner for the business wisdom, talent and hard working nature Sindhis have yet another significant thing related with their surname or family names, as almost all of them ends with “ani”. This “ani” is in fact an ancient tradition of showing respect to elders as “ani” means belongs to and Sindhi surnames / family names are generated from suffixing “ani” to name of few generations ago elder family head, for instant my surname “Manghirmalani “ is originated by adding “ani” to Manghirmal.
Here is the list of Sindhi surnames/ family names known to me, the list is arranged in alphabetical order. If you are a Sindhi and your surname is not in the list, please click the link below to add to list.

How can you miss sindhwani?
the so called sindhi sirnames chellany and golani.manghermalani,etc.are not the real sirnames,it is just to perpituate the name and memory ofgrand ,grand father.-chellomal-to chellany,manghermal to-manghermalani,adumal-to-advani-etc.the real sirnames are-ahuja.pahuja.chugh,dembla.makhija,hinduja,mandhyian,etc-dr.s.k.punshi-mob-9850344540.-amravati.
I don't agree with Dr. S.K. Punshi as this is a social tradition of Sindhis for at least 2-3 decades and the long traditions are bound to become custom in the human society.
add also KATIRA
there are two surnames i can suggest to be included---WAGHNANI based at AJMER RAJASTHAN--- and MANDHYAN based at ALLAHABAD -- UTTAR PRADESH
