Kehras

Kehras is a proper noun used primarily as a surname in parts of the Indian subcontinent and among its diaspora. It may also appear as a place name in regions where Indo-Aryan languages are spoken. The spelling Kehras is one transliteration among several used in different languages and historical periods; variants such as Kehra or Khera are sometimes encountered.

The exact origin of the surname Kehras is not documented in widely accessible reference works. In onomastic terms, it is likely linked to regional naming practices that produce clan, lineage, or toponym-based surnames. As with many South Asian surnames, spelling and pronunciation can vary by community, language, and migration history.

Because it is relatively uncommon, there are no widely known individuals or institutions universally identified with the surname Kehras. In local genealogies or regional histories, people bearing the name may be noted, but such references are not uniformly represented in standard encyclopedias.
