Babbar is Hindi, Punjabi in Origin.
Babbar is a Punjabi and Hindustani given name and surname meaning "lion-like," from the Indo-Aryan adjective babbar, familiar in the phrase babbar sher ("lion"). The term shows Persian influence (compare Persian babr "tiger" and sher/shir "lion"), but in North Indian use Babbar simply connotes strength, fearlessness, and majesty.
As a personal name it is modern and uncommon, chiefly among Punjabi Sikhs and Hindus, sometimes chosen to honor martial or saintly ideals; as a family name it is long-established in North India and the diaspora. Variant spellings sometimes include Babar, though that form more properly belongs to the Perso-Turkic name Babur ("tiger"); related semantic counterparts include Sher and Shera. Colloquial diminutives such as Babbi or Babbu occur. Overall, Babbar conveys an assertive, leonine sense: "lion; lion-hearted; formidable."
