Mangaroo Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The surname Mangaroo is derived from the Bhojpuri word mangar, meaning 'Tuesday'. When the East Indian indentured laborers came to Trinidad in the 1800s, they had a tradition of naming children based on the time, day, month and horoscopes of the child. However, to do this a pundit (priest) was needed, which there were not many of in the country. Therefore, many Indians named their children based on the actual name of the day of the week on which the child was born. Hence, those born on mangar (Tuesday) were either Mangaroo (boy) or Mangaria (girl). Due to the tradition of taking the father's first name as their surname, the name Mangaroo then became a common surname throughout the country. As more modern Hindi and Western names began to be used over time in Trinidad, Mangaroo has remained exclusively a surname.
