Indian Last Names

Indian names are a combination of different naming practices that are different from each other and therefore depend from region to region.

This richness mixes differently here and there to result in imperceptible naming distinctions of both styles and names. 

Historical Indian cultural influence manifests itself in the naming customs of South and Southeast Asia which reveals the common roots of some names that are either entirely adopted from Indian names or words or adapted forms of the same.

In India, surnames are placed as last names or before first names, which often denote: ancestral home countries, social class, clans, posts of ancestral power, and plies of the forefathers.

Here surnames are placed last, the order being: the given name, followed by the father’s name, and topped off by family name respectively.
