Reddy (surname)

Last updated

Reddy/Reddi is a surname that has independent origins in both India and Ireland. This article refers solely to the Indian surname. In India it is predominantly used by members of the Telugu speaking Reddy caste. It is also used as a surname by members of the Reddi Lingayat [1] and Reddy Vokkaliga [2] [3] [4] communities of Karnataka.

Contents

The origin of the Reddy caste/surname has been linked to the Rashtrakutas, although opinions vary. They were feudal overlords and peasant proprietors. Historically they have been the land-owning aristocracy of the villages. Traditionally, they were a diverse community of merchants and cultivators. Their prowess as rulers and warriors is well documented in Telugu history. The Reddy Dynasty (1325–1448 CE) ruled Kosta Andhra and Rayalaseema for over 120 years.

Today they continue to be a politically and socio-economically dominant group in South India especially in the telugu states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
