Dass Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
Das and Dass are common in Bengali and Oriya cultures (states are West Bengal and Odisha) and both are a different caste than Dash. Dash caste is only pertaining to Orissa state and is of the Brahmin caste, while Das and Dass are of a different caste. Das and Dasi means servant especially to kings and queens. It seems irrelevant in my last name as Dash, but could mean Dass to my ancestors who were priests and they were servants or served God (particularly Jagarnath ji Puri, Orissa). I know my ancestors (priests) got land from the king in Puri so I'm guesstimating that Dash was derived from the same word Das and an H was added to ensure no one confused the castes.
