What is caste of the people whose surname is grover?
Castes don%26#039;t mean anything in western countries. Grover is just a name.
Reply:%26quot;One who carves or engraves%26quot; all surnames have meanings, traditionally related to occupation.

Reply:According to Ancestry.com, the surname of Grover can be a Hindu and Sikh name of unknown origin.





Then again, it could be from the German occupational name for a grave digger, an Americanization of the German and Swiss surname of Gruber, or else an English topographical name for someone who lived in a grove of trees. Of course, in Western society, it doesn%26#039;t necessarily follow that an individual%26#039;s surname fits the occupation of his or her ancestors.

Surname: Grover


This surname recorded in the spellings of Grove, Groves, and Grover, is of Anglo-Saxon pre 9th century origins. Deriving from the Olde German word %26#039;graf%26#039;, the surname is topographical or occupational for a dweller or worker by a grove or wood. Topographical surnames of this type, were among the earliest created, since both natural and man-made features in the landscape provided easily recognisable distinguishing names in the small communities of the Middle Ages. The surname is 12th Century and early recordings include Osbert de la Grava in the 1197 rolls called the %26#039;Feet of Fines%26#039;, for the county of Buckinghamshire, John de la Grove in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire in 1275, and William Gover, in the 1332 Subsidy Rolls for the county of Sussex in 1332. The first church registers introduced in the 16th century, include such recordings as the christenings of Elizabeth, daughter of John Groves, on September 27th 1590, at St. Dunstans in the East, Stepney, and of Henry, son of Henry and Mary Groves, on September 10th 1682 at St. Giles%26#039; Cripplegate, London. Elizabeth Groves was one of the first settlers in the New World of the American Colonies first formed in 1607. She sailed from London aboard the ship %26quot;Truelove%26quot;, for the %26quot;Somer-Islands%26quot;, (Bermuda) in June 1635. Neal Groves, aged 22 yrs, was fleeing the Irish Potato Famine of 1846 - 1848 when he sailed for New York on June 6th 1846 on the ship Kestrel. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John de la Grove, which was dated 1275, in the %26quot;Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire%26quot;, during the reign of King Edward 1, known as %26quot;The Hammer of the Scots%26quot;, 1272 - 1307. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to %26quot;develop%26quot; often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.


Hope this helps.
