ArchivesRe: Last name
in reply to a message by Stephen Hill
The surname board is here: http://surnames.behindthename.com/
The meaning is simply the word 'hunt' - it's an occupational surname, to hunt . . . and no, Hunt is not Indian, it's English. I honestly don't think that there are many people with the last name Hunt in India. :)

There are probably a number of Anglo-Indians with the surname Hunt. In the context of my job, I often view files originated by Indian people, with the original creator of the file's name visible, and it's nearly as common for the surname to be one I recognise as English (usually with an English, very often biblical, given name) as it is for it to be a recognisably Indian name.

I believe by Indian he was referring to Native American.
