The Kayastha Community in India
is spread thin into various states. The easiest
identification is the last (surname) name. However,
over the period, many new names have evolved.
We attempt, here, to provide an exhaustive list
of surnames etc. being used by Kayasthas in various
states {we'd like to put on record that the list
appearing hereunder may have some missing family
names. We will appreciate if the same is brought
to the notice of this web-site so as to make the
information appearing herein concurrent and correct.}
