Kohad

Kohad is a proper noun used as both a surname and a place name in parts of the Indian subcontinent. The exact origins are not definitively documented in widely accessible sources, and the name may reflect multiple historical threads, including place-based identifiers or clan- or lineage-based naming practices.

As a surname, Kohad is found among several communities in the region. In onomastic discussions, it is treated as a regional surname without a single universal caste or occupation association, and individuals bearing the name may appear in genealogical records, land documents, and census data within local contexts.

As a toponym, Kohad designates several small settlements in rural areas. The same name can refer to different localities in different districts or states, depending on historical land divisions and language use. Spelling and transliteration vary in official records and maps, with Kohad being a common rendering in English-language sources and other forms appearing in regional scripts.

In scholarly and genealogical contexts, the name may appear in genealogies, land records, and local histories that tie families to particular villages or regions. The absence of a single, widely cited origin means etymologies are often tentative and locally defined. The article does not list notable individuals associated with the name, reflecting the lack of a universally recognized figure.
