Although not a separate dictionary sense, Singer is also a common surname. Notable individuals include Isaac Bashevis Singer (1904–1991), a Polish-born American author who won the Nobel Prize in Literature, and Isaac Merritt Singer (1811–1875), the American inventor who created the widely used Singer sewing machine.
