Shankarsinh is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Shankarsinh is a masculine compound name from western India, built from Shankar (from Sanskrit Śaṅkara, “beneficent, auspicious; doer of good”) and Sinh, a regional form of Sanskrit siṃha, “lion.” Together it signifies “lion of Shankar (Shiva)” or “the auspicious lion,” blending devotion with valor. The elements derive from śaṃ (“well-being”) + kara (“maker”) and the classical emblem of courage, the lion.

The name appears chiefly in Gujarat and Rajasthan, where -sinh/-singh has long marked Kshatriya and Rajput martial identity and, by extension, dignified male names. As a given name, Shankarsinh gained currency in the 20th century alongside other theophoric-plus-title compounds. Variants and spellings include Shankersinh, Shankar Sinh, Shankarsingh, and Shankar Singh (pan‑North Indian form); related names are Shankar and Singh. Nicknames may shorten to Shankar or Sinh. A feminine cognate by meaning is Shankari, an epithet of the goddess consort of Shiva.
