The Bangladeshi family name was derived from the region's historical and geographical background. The first recorded use of the term "Bangladeshi" as a family name dates back to the 12th century, when the Muslimgeneral Muhammad Bakhtiyar Khalji conquered Bengal. The region was previously known as Bengal, and the Bengali people were called Bangaal or Bong.
The last names used by Bengalis today are largely derived from three sources: Muslim invaders and rulers, Hindu Brahmins, and indigenous tribes.
After the Muslim conquest of Bengal in the 12th century, many Muslim rulers and nobles took local Bengali women as wives. As a result, many Bengali families have both Muslim and Hindu ancestors.
The second source of Bengali family names is Hindu Brahmins, who came to Bengal from northern India in the 11th and 12th centuries. These Brahmins were either invited by the local ruler or came as refugees from Islamic invasions in other parts of India. Many Hindu families still have Brahmin ancestors, and some still practice Hindu rituals and follow Hindu caste rules.
The third source of Bengali family names is the indigenous tribes that have lived in Bengal for centuries. These tribes often had very different naming conventions than the Hindus and Muslims, and many tribal names are still in use today.
