who are syeds can u explain this
Answer
The word, Sayyed, is an Arabic word meaning master, leader, employer, etc.
The word Sayyed as a prefix or suffix to one's name generally implies to be a descendant of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam). However, that is not a principle. If you do not know being a descendant of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam), you should research that. Nevertheless, there is no prohibition in your family name being 'Syed' and you do not have to remove that identity.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
