Tek Singh

Tek Singh was a Risaldar and had a Jagir in the reign of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.[1] Toba Tek Singh, a city in the Punjab, Pakistan, is named after him.[2]

He was said to be a kind-hearted man who served water and provided shelter to the worn out and thirsty travelers passing by a pond (toba in Punjabi) which eventually was called Toba Tek Singh.[2]
