Malviya (surname)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Malviya or Malaviya surname is associated with the Gaur Brahmin community that originally settled in the Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh, India. Over time, individuals from this community began using the toponymic surname "Malviya," which literally translates to "those from Malwa" in Central India. Following their migration to various other regions, they continued to use this surname, and as a result, they are often referred to as Malviya Brahmins.[1][2][3][4]
