hi Wanted to know some kannada brahmin surnames.. Like adiga, atherya etc.. Hiremath is also there right? Thanx
joshi, arshi, shastry,upadhyaya , bayari,murthy, aithal,achrya,bhagavat,maiyya ,sharma,desai,kulkarni,agnihotri,karanth,rao and...... i...... don't know.......shakehead
My DH would have had a mouthful 'Nuggehallisunderajiyengar' had he kept the family name . Haha! Fortunately his parents decided just to give both their given names as a surname for him and his brother. Nugge halli is a small village from whence a lot of Iyengars have come. But this information is quite easy to find and most people can recognise a Brahmin name so I am also curious as to what your real reason is?
Nina here from Manglore......i am new here in this forum.......for now just want to say hi, will be in touch.
