History:

Dhankhas spread likely came from a mix of reasons. Wars or political messes might have forced families to move, scattering them far and wide. Picture families uprooted, settling in new places, keeping their family name. People also moved willingly, seeking better jobs or lives, establishing new communities and keeping this surname alive. These movements, both forced and voluntary, explain how this surname spread geographically, maybe even changing slightly in spelling or pronunciation over time.

Description:

Dhankhas variations are interesting! Dhankar is a close cousin, just a slight spelling tweak. Dhakkas a shorter version, perhaps a nickname that stuck. Dhanka is another possibility, losing a sound. These are educated guesses based on how names change over time.
