Shah is a popular surname in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.[1]
Shah (/ʃɑː/; Persian: شاه, romanized: Šāh, pronounced [ʃɒːh], "king") is a title given to the emperors, kings, princes and lords of Iran (historically known as Persia in the West).[2] It is different to the shah that is found in Gujarat, India, which is rather derived from Sanskrit.
