Fakun Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
This name originates from Bihar (or Calcutta), India. An ancestor emigrated to Mauritius where he died in 1880 at the age of forty-six. By deduction, he was born in Bihar (or Calcutta). He was registered by the immigration services on arrival in Mauritius only by the name 'Fakun 4989.53836'. The year of his arrival in Mauritius is also unknown. The office handling matters related to Indian immigrants in Mauritius, the Mahatma Gandhi Institute, is hopeless in extending any assistance in throwing more light into solving the unexplained discrepancies.
The name itself might have been wrongly written in Mauritius on his arrival by the British immigration services. The name Fakun appears twice in New Delhi electoral census, but research shows that it does not mean anything.This strengthens the assumption that it's a wrongly written name in as far as its Indian background is concerned.
It is right to ascertain that it is most prevalent in Mauritius, given that Mr Fakun had three children, two of whom became fathers of another half a dozen children. One of them, Ramnath, had nine children who, in turn, have become parents of several more children. Hence, the multiple occurrence of this name in Mauritius.
My research into the matter in other countries where indentured Indians emigrated to, such as Trinidad and Tobaggo, Suriname, Fiji, South Africa did not show the presence of this name in those countries. Nevertheless, the name appears in Indonesia and Hungary and Poland.
