weirdest surname you have ever come across.
What is the weirdest surname you have ever come across? It could be indian as well as non-indian.
In my opinion marathis have weirdest surname in india ( sorry Sunit and others, no offence meant). Biharis may qualify for weirdest first name but marathis take the cherry when it comes to surname. e.g. : I have heard of, Dhote, Dhomne, Phadkar ( dutta the famous cricketer), Patkar, Kangale ( u wont believe a bank manager ![]() ![]() Then there is Salman Butt from pakistan. A Jack Russell from England. Matsikeyneri ( cant spell) from zimbabwe apart Olonga, Mbwanga etc. Even Sindhis have interesting surname. Nagvani, Advani, Khushlani etc.

Have two coworkers with the last names of Wojciechowski and Sczcepanksi. In case you're wondering, the names are pronounced "Voi-shove-ski" and "Che-pan-ski".
Then, there is Xiang-he Qiao, whose name is actually pronounced "Shiang-ha Chao"

4th spot goes to 'Lodha', very dangerous surname - naam hi kaafi hai, nothing to add to it, 'Aur lodha ji, kaise hai aap ?' , hehe,

Re: weirdest surname you have ever come across.
There was this guy Mr Robert Lund who donated a lot of money to a women's charity organization in India. When he came to India, the women's organization had organized a facilitation ceremony. Snippets from the speech given by chairwoman:
'Aaj hamara sowbhagya hai ki Lundji hamare beech mein hai.....' '..aaj Lundji ki kripa se hamare sanstha ki kanyaein bahut khush hai...' Last edited by brigand; September 13th, 2006 at 01:34 PM. |

Re: weirdest surname you have ever come across.
There are the usual foreign names that sound dirty/funny in India - the lunds, laudas and chuts of the world.
But there are Indian names that sound funny in India. Thats what blows my mind .. I know this guy - and I swear - I am not lying - His last name is Tatti. (there was another guy whose last name was Thati - but still pronounced Tatti). I mean - jeez - I laugh whenever I see this dude. How can you walk around the place with a name like Tatti. I would head straight for the courtroom to get a name change.
