Modi

The Modi surname is recorded in the Lohana/Khatri stream of Sindhi ancestry. Its ancestral root is described as "Modi" = grocer/grain dealer, with historical association around Hyderabad. Traditional family memory connects this line with Grain trade. 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.
