History:
I can certainly help you explore the spread and evolution of the surname "Simh" from an onomastic perspective. It’s possible this is a less common variant or a more localized name.
I can say that surnames in India generally spread due to factors like job mobility (artisans moving to new areas), forced migrations (historical invasions or political upheavals), and even voluntary migrations for economic reasons. These movements often lead to variations in the spelling and pronunciation of surnames over time.
Since I don’t have specific information on "Simh," I’m afraid I can’t provide a more detailed answer.

In 1699, when Guru Gobind Singh founded the Khalsa, all Sikh men adopted this surname. This made the surname a standard symbol of Sikh identity and unity, aiming to eliminate caste differences. While mainly Sikh, Simh/Singh is also used by some Hindu Rajput communities, especially in northern India, where they historically used Singh as a title to show they were warriors. However, this surname is much more common among Sikhs than among these Rajput groups, making its connection to Sikhism much stronger.
