Tulapurkar Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

Originates from the name of a place, Tulapur, situated approximately 28km NE of Pune in Maharashtra, India. Traditionally people settled in various parts of the geography mostly known based on their profession or the work they perform, and referred as surname, e.g., an administrator or goldsmith or preacher from Tulapur. However, when the people went out of the place from where they lived in (village, town, etc.), they were referred with their name followed by place they come from, so the already existing surname was prefixed with the name of place they come from, the suffix is further succeeded by the word, kar, in the Marathi language, added to mean 'hails from', and thus the surname Tulapurkar.
