Origin of Kashmiri Nicknames

Contributed by Rudresh Kaul and Sagar Raina .

Special Thanks to Sh. Ram Krishen Kaul.



This aricle has been compiled after studying the works of Sh. Ram Krishen Kaul on Nicknames of Kashmiri Pandits.
Present generation of Kashmiri pandits is obviously unaware of the origin of their surnames,how these surnames came into existence, how many surnames of kashmiri Pandits are currently existing. With this purpose an attempt is made by KP youths to provide information about the history of these surnames through this blog.

Rudresh Kaul, a KP from Rajasthan has complied around 700 Kashmiri Pandit surnames, and detailed document has been prepared by him. In his document he has presented these surnames alphabatically from A to Z.

List of 700 Kashmiri Pandit Surnames by Rudresh Kaul

While in search of the origins of these surnames we came across the detailed document regarding the origin of surnames by Sh. Ram Krishen Kaul. Sh. Kaul has presented beautifully how KP nicknames came into being.

In this article we will try to present his work briefly.

A nickname, says Hazlitt, is the hardest stone that the devil can throw at a man, yet the kashmiris have shown the unparalleled endurance to bear this hardest stone Pleased with their 'devotion' he(Mr. Devil) seems to have gifted these stones to them(kashmiri) for ever. Love of nick names is mixed in the blood of Kashmiris, nay, they have nurtured this art with their blood, for generations together. They give it without asking for and make full use of ordinary events, actions, habits and even physical features of a persons to coin new and newer nicknames.

Lets see what the KP girls who have married outside community have to say about it... We can not come to any conclusion if its not from those who have actually doen it.....
I believe they are happy than those who married within community.. so KP gyz Pls STOP Sobbing and complaining..
as far as Mrs Trakrooo funda of Gals comming in and out goes... I believe its like a Garbage in And Garbage out rule..Here the problem is just not the numbers which can be made up( after those KP gals who marry outside) by Outside gals coming in.. Just the nos dont solve any purpose at all.. Its the Language , culture, customs etc..which has a higher and better probability of being continued with respect and amicably if both spouse are from the same community.... But I guess What are we discussing at. Kp community's Culture is lost, extinct more than a decade ago now.. What we are left with are just mere KP surnames!!!
