The history of the last name Sadri

The surname SADRI has its origins in the Indian subcontinent, specifically in the region of Rajasthan. It is believed to have originated during the medieval period, around the 12th to 15th centuries. The name is derived from the Sanskrit word "sadri," which means "one who belongs to the merchant class" or "a trader."

SADRI is closely associated with the Rajput community, a dominant warrior clan in Rajasthan. Many members of this community were involved in trade and commerce, which could explain the connection between the name and the merchant class. The earliest known records of the name can be found in ancient manuscripts and inscriptions from Rajasthan, dating back to the 13th century.

One of the earliest documented instances of the SADRI surname appears in the Prithviraj Raso, an epic poem written in the 12th century by the poet Chand Bardai. The poem mentions a character named Sadri, who was a wealthy merchant and trader. This suggests that the name was already in use during that time period.

In the 16th century, the SADRI surname was mentioned in the Akbarnama, a biographical account of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. The book refers to a nobleman named Sadri Khan, who served as a high-ranking official in Akbar's court. This historical reference further solidifies the prominence of the SADRI name during the Mughal era.

Another notable figure with the SADRI surname was Rai Sadri Mal, a wealthy merchant and philanthropist from Jaipur, who lived in the late 18th century. He was renowned for his charitable works and contributions to the city's infrastructure, including the construction of several temples and public buildings.

In more recent history, Har Sarup Sadri was a prominent Indian politician and freedom fighter who actively participated in the Indian independence movement alongside Mahatma Gandhi. He was born in 1897 and played a crucial role in the Non-Cooperation Movement and the Quit India Movement.

Another noteworthy individual with the SADRI surname was Narayan Das Sadri, a renowned Rajasthani folk singer and poet from the 20th century. He was born in 1904 and is celebrated for his contributions to the preservation and promotion of Rajasthani folk music and literature.
