Means "princess", ultimately from Sanskrit कà¥à¤®à¤¾à¤°à¥€ (kumari) meaning "girl". This surname was assigned to all female Sikhs in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh. It is now used as a surname or a middle name by most female Sikhs. The male equivalent is Singh.
From Sanskrit यशसॠ(yashas) meaning "fame, praise, glory" combined with the name of the Hindu god INDRA.
