Of the family names originally belonging to the Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhus the following have been admittedly adopted the Marathas:<\/p>\n
(1) Gurude (2) Ranadive (3) Tambe (4) Thakare (5) Bhishe (6) Tungare (7) Dalvi\u00a0 (8) Korde (9) Vaidya (10) Patankar (11) Raje and (12) Dabir<\/p>\n
It would be impossible to prevent any family from adopting the surnames of their Patrons, masters or employers, and the process is very conspicuous among the Parsees among whom we have, Petits, Wellingtons, Coopers, Meadows, Ash burners, and others, but the fact that authors of the community adopting the names of the superior sect, admitting the adoption deserves to be recorded. [Compare Shelke’s Vaunshavali, and Dhairavo’s Shannavakuli, published respectfully in Pune and Mumbai.<\/p>\n
One peculiar trait of this community is the acquisition of land or hereditary Vatans ; they seem to have domiciled themselves wherever they could succeed in obtaining possession of land ; and they pride in assuming official designations for their families, dropping the surname but retaining its tradition and its gotra for religious or matrimonial purposes. As an instance, a short sketch of the members of one family from Dabhol, who are Jayawants is sufficient. From a family tree in the possession of Mr. R. N. .Inamdar, the Honorary Magistrate of Poona it appears that during the last 5 or 6 hundred years the descendants of one man named Lingo Shankar have acquired residence in 25 places and are known by 19 family names.<\/p>\n
