Lahiri

Lahiri (Bengali: লাহিড়ী) is a Bengali Brahmin surname belonging primarily to the Kulin Barendra brahmins of Bengal, both in West Bengal of India and Bangladesh. The surname belongs to the Samvedic Sandilya Gotra of the Brahmin caste. This name originates from the name of the village Laheria in the Barendra region, where the Kanyakubj brahmins settled during the Sen dynasty when Ballal Sen introduced Kulinism. ^{[1][citation needed]}
