The history of the last name Naupari

The surname NAUPARI is believed to have originated in the Indian subcontinent, specifically in the region of present-day Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. Its roots can be traced back to the Sanskrit language, where it was likely derived from the words "nau" meaning "new" and "pari" meaning "town" or "settlement."

During the medieval period, the name NAUPARI was commonly found among Hindu and Muslim communities in the northern parts of the Indian subcontinent. One of the earliest documented references to the name can be found in the "Ain-i-Akbari," a 16th-century administrative document commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Akbar.

The name NAUPARI has been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. One such figure was Raja Naupari Singh, a 17th-century ruler of the princely state of Darbhanga in Bihar. His reign is recorded in several historical texts, including the "Darbhanga Raj Vamshavali," a chronicle of the Darbhanga royal dynasty.

Another prominent bearer of the NAUPARI name was Pandit Naupari Nath, a renowned Sanskrit scholar and poet who lived in the 18th century. His works, particularly his commentary on the ancient Hindu text "Bhagavad Gita," are still widely studied and revered in academic circles.

In the 19th century, Naupari Lal, a renowned artist and calligrapher from Lucknow, gained fame for his intricate calligraphic works and illustrations. His artworks adorned the walls of many palaces and monuments during the reign of the Nawabs of Awadh.

During the Indian independence movement, the name NAUPARI was carried by freedom fighter and social reformer Naupari Devi, who actively participated in the Non-Cooperation Movement led by Mahatma Gandhi.
