The history of the last name Guduru

The surname GUDURU originates from India, specifically from the Telangana region, and can be traced back to the 15th century. It is believed to be derived from the Telugu word "guduru," which means "a settlement" or "a village."

In ancient times, the GUDURU surname was prevalent among the farming communities of Telangana. Many historical records, such as land ownership documents and village chronicles, mention individuals bearing this surname. One notable mention is found in the "Kakatiya Inscriptions," a collection of stone inscriptions from the Kakatiya dynasty that ruled the region between the 12th and 14th centuries.

The earliest recorded example of the GUDURU surname dates back to the late 15th century, when a farmer named Mallaiah GUDURU was mentioned in a village land record from the Nalgonda district of Telangana. Another early record is from the 16th century, where a person named Lingaiah GUDURU was listed as a landowner in the Karimnagar district.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the GUDURU surname was closely associated with the agricultural communities of the Warangal and Khammam districts. Several prominent individuals from these regions bore this surname, including Venkataiah GUDURU (1675-1738), a respected village elder and farmer, and Lakshmi GUDURU (1712-1783), a renowned farmer and community leader.

In the 19th century, the GUDURU surname gained recognition beyond the agricultural communities. Ramachandra GUDURU (1835-1912) was a notable scholar and educator who established several schools in the Telangana region, promoting education among the rural population.

Another notable figure was Venkateswarlu GUDURU (1880-1954), a social reformer and activist who worked towards the upliftment of marginalized communities in Telangana. He played a significant role in the region's struggle for independence and social justice.
