Our pool covers North Indian Hindu naming convention; for South Indian, additional Tamil/Telugu/Malayalam research helpful.

Frequently asked questions
›How does the caste system affect surnames?
Historically, surnames signaled caste (Brahmin Sharma/Mishra, Kshatriya Singh, Vaishya Gupta, regional like Patel for Gujarati). Modern usage is less strict but still informative. Our pool mixes registers without privileging any one.
›Are Hindi and Hindu names the same?
Often overlap but not identical. Hindi is a language; Hindu is a religion. Most Hindi-speakers are Hindu, but Indian Muslims (Khan, Iqbal), Sikhs (Singh, Kaur), and Christians (D'Souza, Fernandes) use Hindi but draw from different naming pools.
›What about regional Indian names?
This pool is North Indian. For South India (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada), naming conventions differ significantly - patronymic structure, different surname traditions. Use Hindi as a starting point and adapt regionally.
