The story of the Chandan surname

Chandan is an Indic name meaning sandalwood. It appears in Lohana and Sindh-Gujarat-Kutch naming contexts, but it is not specific enough to assign a nukh without family evidence. In a Sindhi archive, it should be treated as a possible Sindhi-Gujarati/Kutchi Lohana crossover lead. Ask whether the family used Sindhi, Kutchi, or Gujarati at home and whether elders remember Sindh, Kutch, Kathiawar, or a specific trading town.
