Etymology

The word Sinsinwar was originated from the name of village Sinsini, to which ancestral lineage of Bharatpur rulers belong. [6]

Origin

There are multiple theories claiming the origin of Sinsinwar rulers.

One theory states that Sinsinwars are originated from Yadava’s [7] while the other theory claims their descent from Jadaun Rajputs. [8] Historian Ram Pande notes several issues when examining the veracity of the Jadaun Rajput legend: Sinsini had never been part of Karauli State, the caste of a child is not based on the mother's caste, and they would have become Darogas when rejected as Rajputs instead of Jats. [9]

Vishvendra Singh, titular Maharaja of Bharatpur, also stated that they are descendants of Yaduvanshi Jats. [10]

According to modern research, the Sinsinwar lineage is believed to have derived its surname from the village of Sinsini, where their descendants have originated. [11]
