He believed that having a common named removed barriers of caste between people and promoted tolerance.

Answer:

All the sikh men were given the last name of sikh by Guru Gobind singh ji because either sikhs are members of Khalsa creed or their ancestors were remained member of the Khalsa creed and the use of suffix Singh remained a custom of their family or just because that they are jutt sikhs.
