The name sahiwal came into existence as the tribe/caste "Sahi" started living there. So, Sahiwal means the place where "Sahi" lives. When India was taken over by Brits, they changed the name from Sahiwal to Montgomery - named after Sir Montgomery. After the British rule, and Indo-Pak partition, the name was changed again from Montgomery to sahiwal to preserve the originality.
