No I don't think so....
In earlier days...people's titles or surnames used to be set according to their status...like zamindars and rich landholders had their titles as Chowdhury or Majumdar etc..

Sometimes it can be. My mother-in-law's last name was Punegar. It was because her family was from Pune. But other people have names like moneymaker. I think it depends on where your family lived hundreds of years ago and what their culture was at that time.

In India, a person's last name is usually the familly name that is carried by all members of that familly.
In few communities, this last name is associated with a place from where they belong to.

This can't be generalized.

Not necessarily. It varies from place to place. In Tamilnadu, there is no such thing as first name, sur name or last name. Each person has a name with an initial of the name of the father.

You can't generalise. It differs from place to place (& state to state). Welcome to the cultural potpourri called India. It can be place, a clan/caste, fathers name, mothers name, husbands name & what not .....
