Re: shah
i was bored one day so the last thing that came to my mind was to search about my surname coz i had heard a lot from everybody in my village..i am a Shah....my ancestors migrated from Badakshan (afghanistan) to N.W.F.P (Pakistan)Shah surname basically means "king" in Persian.. that doesn't mean all shahs are kings.. syeds also use the word shah at the end of their names.. many Gujaratis from India also have the surname shah (it was originally saa or sadhu or somethin lik that but they changed it to shah later).. so shah is not limited to a caste or creed or religion or community.. it's a common surname in south and central asia.. also in iran..
