Evidence record · given name

Meaning and use are separate questions.

Lexical evidence: A dictionary-based meaning for the complete personal name has not been established here.

Documented use: Dalbir Singh appears in a 1987 parliamentary obituary and in distinct 2022 candidate records for Amritsar West and Patiala Rural.

An older Punjab-connected bearer

The Lok Sabha’s proceedings for 6 November 1987 include an obituary reference to Dalbir Singh, then a member representing Sirsa in Haryana. The Speaker records earlier service in the Punjab Legislative Assembly from 1952 to 1962, followed by several parliamentary terms. This supplies an explicit Punjab connection within a dated public record.[1]

The reference states that this Dalbir Singh died on 30 October 1987. Retaining that date is essential when searching later material under the same name. The obituary documents a particular public life and its remembered offices; it supplies no account of how Dalbir originated as a personal name or why his family chose it.[1]

A 2022 record from Amritsar

MyNeta’s archive of the 2022 Punjab election identifies a candidate named Dalbir Singh in Amritsar West, Amritsar. The page attaches the name to the SAD party label and gives the candidate’s age as sixty-eight at that election. Those dated fields distinguish an actual candidate record without requiring an invented longer name.[2]

The archive explains that it preserves a self-declared election affidavit and may differ from subsequent circumstances. The name occurrence is therefore tied to the 2022 election, rather than presented as a statement about the candidate’s current position. The affidavit is not used to infer an identity from the constituency’s reservation label.[2]

A separate 2022 record from Patiala

A different MyNeta candidate page records Dalbir Singh in Patiala Rural during the same election, with the independent party label and an age of forty-one. The different constituency, age and candidate identifier show why the two 2022 records must be kept separate, even though their displayed personal names are identical.[3]

Read beside the 1987 parliamentary record, these examples establish documented repetition of a full name across distinct lives. They do not establish that the bearers are relatives or share a naming intention. Dalbir is recorded here as a personal element whose complete linguistic meaning remains unestablished.[3]
