Jogindar Singh is Punjabi in Origin.

Jogindar Singh is a North Indian, especially Punjabi-Sikh, male name pairing the given name Jogindar with the honorific-surname Singh (“lion”). Jogindar comes from Sanskrit Yogendra (yoga ‘discipline, union’ + indra ‘lord’), yielding meanings such as “lord of yoga,” “chief of ascetics,” or “master of spiritual discipline.” Through Prakrit and Punjabi phonology, Yogendra → Joginder/Jogindar, while Singh became near-universal for Sikh men after Guru Gobind Singh’s Khalsa initiation in 1699.

Used across Punjab and the diaspora (UK, Canada, East Africa), the compound appears in records from the late 19th century onward and remains familiar through figures like Gen. Joginder Jaswant Singh and war hero Subedar Joginder Singh (PVC). Common variants: Joginder, Jogendra, Yogendra, Yoginder; pet forms include Jogi and Joga. Feminine pairing in Sikh contexts is typically Joginder Kaur. The name conveys spiritual authority balanced with courage and resolve.
