The history of Indian last names is a long and complicated one. There are many different ways that they can be categorized, but the most common way is by region. For example, last names from Northern India are typically derived from Sanskrit, while those in the South often have Dravidian or Tamil origins.
Interestingly, there are also a fair number of Indian last names that have Arabic or Persian roots. This is due to the fact that Islam came to India in the 10th century and has been present in the country ever since. As such, there are many Indians with Muslim last names who have no connection to Arab or Persian heritage.
The history of Indian last names is reflective of the country's rich and varied history. From ancient Sanskrit to modern Arabic, Indian last names have a story to tell about the people of this great nation.
