ArchivesRe: Where does my name originate from?
in reply to a message by Ashmit Bhat
It is difficult to read if you type in all capitals or without punctuation. On the internet, the former is considered rude, and the latter childish.
I do not know the origin of the name, nor its meaning, but I have heard it in modern India. Culturally, the Indian subcontinent consisting of Pakistan, India, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and merging into Sri Lanka forms a continuum, and anyone would be hardpressed to distinguish, for example, a Nepali name from an Indian name. Sometimes, linguistic differences allow one to localize the names in this cultural area, but I do not know enough about this name.
A large fraction of India is hindu by tradition, and I have heard the name used in that community, I believe. I do not know if it has any connection with hinduism as a religion.
