The story of the Karnani surname

The Karnani surname is recorded in the Amil Lohana stream of Sindhi ancestry. Its ancestral root is described as Arorvanshi, with historical association around Hyderabad. Traditional family memory connects this line with Revenue officers. For families separated from Sindh after 1947, details like these are not just labels: they are coordinates back to a place, a profession, and a community network. The available sources line up reasonably well, though family branches may still preserve their own details.
