History:
Kandewad is a Hindu Brahmin surname native to the Indian state of Maharashtra. It is derived from the Sanskrit words ‘Kanda’ meaning ‘stem’ or ‘root’, and ‘Vad’ meaning ‘speech’ or ‘language’. The name is believed to have been given to the family after their ancestors were said to have been proficient in Sanskrit.
