Comments on: Surnames, where do they come from? http://theshootingstar.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/surnames-where-do-they-come-from/ Of growing up, chocolate addiction and Indian pride Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:28:34 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Prajakta http://theshootingstar.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/surnames-where-do-they-come-from/#comment-948 Prajakta Tue, 21 Jul 2009 13:15:42 +0000 http://theshootingstar.wordpress.com/?p=17#comment-948 very interesting....actually, surnames and their history is a very good way of tracking your ancestry. Within the kayashta community in India, while most people took on their title in the aristocracy as their surnames, it changed as different clans moved to diff villages. And it is strange but most surnames amongst this community can be traced to 5 sages who are considered to be the original authors of the Vedas. So I guess a family tree would be a great way to teach Indian history to kids :P very interesting….actually, surnames and their history is a very good way of tracking your ancestry.
