what does it mean and where did it originate from?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Hi, I assume you are asking about Salhan as in the last name of punjabis in India. Salhan is a fairly common last name and I have known a number of them mainly doctors and few in the armed forces.

The word 'Salhan' is derived from a spear or a weapon with a pitchfork like pointed end on one side....

Salhans are supposed to derive their name from the warriors who used these weapons!
