Anyone know best way to search this subject: The name Bendi Patmahara keeps coming to my mind, strangely, I do not know why at this juncture. I assume it is a name, not a title or an object or place. I know it's strange, that's why I'm posting. Thanks |

Maybe you mean Bindi Padmahara? In Sanskrit Padma means lotus, and hara can mean bearing. I'm no expert on this type of thing but Padmahara is a not uncommon traditional name, it could mean lotus bearer or bearer of fertility or something like that. Bindi is the dot married women put between the eyes and is a common given name.

I would assume that all of the above names have some meaning, if so, just what are the meanings?
With meanings, one might conjecture just how these names might have been translated into other languages! For example, Dutch/Dutche=German=Alleman, etc.! ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |

All surnames have meanings Trivedi - means those who have knowledge of three vedas. Dwivedi is one who has knowledge of 2 vedas. Chatur vedi one who has command over 4 vedas Thripathi who teaches three vedas Vajpeyi is one who conducts vajapeya (a vedic ritual). Singh,Sinha,Singhania all had originated from sanskrit 'Simha' meaning lion. All others are having meanings but I am afraid I'll not be able to explain all. I have posted the details of Agnichayana in apost which has mention about vajapeya.

It may contain pejorative connotations although not in most cases." ------------- http://www.quotationspage.com/subjects/history/ |

I dont think that there is a such a surname in East India. "Ghazi" means soldier of Islam.Earlier muslim rulers of India used to kill hindus(infidels) personally to achieve the title Ghazi or Khazi. Akbar the mughal emperor is known to have killed Hemu to earn the Ghazi title.

There is another name similar to Kassie ie "Kasi". IKasi is a Sacred city for Hindus, presently it is called "Banares".

My family's oral history states my great grandfather always said he was East Indian. When his family came to America in the early 1800's their surname sounded like Whims, Weems, Wims or Williams. Is there an East Indian name that sounds like one of the names listed? Thank you in advance for your time and reply.
