History:

Baavane: This surnames spread likely involved people moving voluntarily – maybe for better jobs, farmland, or to escape trouble – and being forced to move due to wars or other bad events. They carried this surname with them to new places, creating new Baavane communities. Changes in spelling might also reflect how language and record-keeping changed over time.

Description:

However, I can guess at some possibilities. We might see a shorter version like "Baavan." Spelling changes are also common; "Bavane" is one example. Sometimes, people add things to their surnames, like a fathers name ("Baavane-Kumar," for example) or a place name.
