Middle name Pinder?

[parky]

I have 2 members on my tree with Pinder as a middle name. They are Hubert Pinder Parkinson born Cowley 1889 and his nephew Thomas Pinder Parkinson born Ahmednagar India 1913. Pinder is not a family name. Both their fathers served in India. So I am wondering if Pinder is an Indian name?
Any help or guidance would be appreciated. Thankyou.

Pinder is Sikh/Punjabi Boy name and meaning of this name is "Brave Leader".

The saga of the name Pinder follows a line reaching back through history to the days of the Anglo-Saxon tribes in Britain. It was a name for someone who worked as a person who worked as the Pinder which referred to the individual who impounded stray cattle.

Steve,
I appreciate your help. Did you find the "Brave Leader" definition of Pinder on any online Sikh/Punjabi directory?
Yes I did come across that Pinder was an old English word for an impounder of stray cattle but I think this is irrelevant in this case. I think the Pinder used as a middle name in my family is an Indian name or word as you suggest. As I mentioned originally I don't believe it is a former family name.
Thanks again.

No. I just did a general search for the origins of the Pinder name.

Steve, as I have been unsuccessful in finding this general search for the Seikh/Punjabi definition are you able to give me a link or guide me as to how you found it?
Thanks.

Sorry, I cannot find the link to the first Sikh/Punjabi search.

Oh, that's a shame. If you or anyone should come across this link I would be grateful if they could let me know as I would like to inform descendants of Hubert Pinder Parkinson and Thomas Pinder Parkinson where the unusual middle name of their ancestor came from.
Thank you.

Yep, that's the one. Just looked again, and it's a bit 'out there'. I'm not sure if that will be any help.?

Thank you Julie & Steve for their contributions and anyone else who took an interest. So it looks like Pinder is Sikh/Punjabi or even Sanskrit for Brave Leader.
Thanks again.
