Kunkolienkar Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Kunkolienkar is the demonym for families originally belonging to the village of Kumkaliem / Cuncolim / Kukale in the Ponda taluka of the state of Goa, India.

It is stated that the name of this village was Kunkhalli. The term, kunku, is similar to the term, keser. Kesari (orange colour) is a symbol of bravery (veerta) and holiness (shaubhagya). Hence, this term is related to an element of pride and holiness.

Yet others trace the etymology of cuncolim to "kesar halli", which is the 'colour of victory'. The Sanskrit word, kunk, later became kunku in Marathi and was later changed to cuncolim.
