Discusses the emergence of surnames particu-larly with reference to Bengali names. Givesan annotated list of derivation. A fairlyexhaustive list of surnames as obtain inBengalees in general is given for purposes ofcataloguing.

o INTRODUCTION

Surnames have probably been a commonfeature for some centuries in many count.ries.But for bibliographical purposes and for librarycatalogues surnames have been a knotty prob-lem in some of the Indian States, more so inBengal. The Western practice has been tocatalogue all books under the author s ! surnamesfollowed by the initials of the forenames and incase of a single forename, it is usual to writethe name in full instead of putting the initial ofthe forename only. This practice has severaladvantages for bibliographical and for librarypurposes as well. The practice in the Eastfor Oriental names was generally to use theforename of the author instead of his surname.A single instance would illustrate this, e. g.William Carey, will be better known underCarey than William, whereas Bank im ChandraChatterjee will be better known as Ba nk imChandra than as Chatterjee. SimilarlyRavindranath Tagore is better known in Bengalas Ravindranath though he is better known asTagore in the Western world. In a public lib-rary in a village or town in Bengal, peoplewill enquire about Bankirn Chandra's books 'andnot for Chatterjee's books, for Ravi Babu s !

books and not for Thakurs' or 'I'a go r es ! books.In the post independence era there has been atendency and perhaps a tendency in the right

direction, to formulate uniform practice andto fall in with the international form. Univer-sity has its advantages and it will help theforeigners to handle our bibliographies withmore ease. Still there are many who opposethis and they have their reasons as well.

1 NATURE OF SURNt>cMES

Surnames and titles or decorations usedalong with the proper names - generally addedat the end of the names - are either genealogi-calor professional. The former have been inuse from generation to generation and aregenerally family names some of which may evenhave been personal names. Professional nameshave also been adapted as family names and areregularly used as surnames. It has been apractice for several centuries to award titlesto persons who occupy positions of eminence inintelligence, learning, wealth or riches,honour etc. Persons who have rendered meri-torious service to the country have also beenawarded titles which have gone down fromgeneration to generation and thus got absorbedas family names or surnames. Indian historyfrom pre-Moghul days has shown thatthe ruling Hindu Kings had awarded titles onpersons and families for either meritoriousservice to the country or for leadership insociety. This practice has been followed bythe Pathan and the Moghul rulers and by theirsuccessors, the British as well. Even in inde-pendent India the Presidential awards on theRepublic day, like the New Years' Honours ofthe English Sovereigns, is just a continuationof the old practice of honouring persons fo rmeritorious service to the country. Some of

the titles awarded by the Muslim rulers havebeen adopted as family names and are stillcontinuing as such from generation to genera-tion.
