ankari

Ankari is a name that can refer to more than one topic. It is used as a surname in parts of the Indian subcontinent and as a geographic toponym for several villages in India. As a surname, Ankari appears among families in various communities, and transliteration from regional scripts yields spellings such as Ankari or Ankari depending on language and district. The geographic distribution of the surname often aligns with local naming practices, but there is no single, centralized record of its origins or meaning.

As a place name, Ankari designates multiple villages in India. Toponyms like this are common and can arise from local language roots, historical landholding patterns, or settlement names. Details for specific villages—such as state, district, and population—are maintained in district gazetteers and census records.

Notable references: Ankari does not correspond to any widely recognized historical event, organization, or internationally known figure in standard reference works. In most contexts, the intended meaning must be inferred from surrounding information to distinguish between a person or a place.
