Netam Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The surname Netam denotes the name of a family among the Gond tribal people of India. The Gonds are the natives of India. The name for the supercontinent Gondwana or Gondwanaland is after them. They are practically a lost culture now. The Gonds are divided into many families for the sake of their marriage rules. Their are many families like Tekkam, Sidar, Uikey, Mandavi, Maravi, and many more. The Tekkam and the Netam families are said to have the same ancestor so these families are siblings to each other and therefore inter-marriage between them is not accepted. They have many more siblings. And there are many such types of sibling families. Though a Netam and a Sidar can marry, which actually means their marriage is acceptable as they are not sibling families. Thus, marriage is acceptable among people from families who do not belong to their sibling families.
