Shivraj Puri is Indian, Sanskrit in Origin.

Shivraj is an Indian masculine given name from Sanskrit Śiva (the auspicious one, the god Shiva) + rāja (king, rule). As a tatpurusha compound it denotes “Shiva’s rule/reign” or “Shiva as king,” often glossed simply as “king of Shiva” or “Shiva-ruled.” It appears in North and Western Indian usage, especially Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali, and in South India as Shivaraj/Sivaraj. The name is attested in devotional and royal contexts, aligning with the popularity of -raj compounds. Variants and spellings include Shivraaj, Shivaraj, Shivaraja, Sivaraj, and the honorific-bearing form Shivraj Singh.

Puri is a North Indian surname of toponymic origin, from Sanskrit puri/pura “town, fortress”; borne notably by Punjabi Khatris and some Kashmiri Pandits, later spreading with migration. It can signal ancestry from a fortified town or an association with civic guardianship. Related spellings include Purie and Poori. Together, Shivraj Puri evokes “one under Shiva’s kingship from the town/fort.”
