Uppal (surname)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to BN Puri, Uppal is derived from the Sanskrit term "utpalarana" which means "one who leaps upon their enemies". Puri further mentions it to be a part of the Bunjahi and Sareen subcaste of Khatris.[2]
However, as per R. C. Dogra, Uppal means "stone".[3] Uppals have origins in the districts of Montgomery, Amritsar and Ludhiana.[3]
