History:

Karikar: This surnames spread likely involved a mix of people choosing to move and being forced to move. Better farmland or trade routes might have lured families to new places, creating new settlements with this surname. Wars or political messes could also have scattered families, carrying this surname to new areas. Where families settled depended on things like resources and existing communities, creating pockets of this surname in certain places.

Description:

Simpler spellings like "Karikar" (dropping a letter) are possible. Adding a letter, like "Karickar," is another option. Or, if this surname has Scandinavian roots (this is just a guess), we might see additions like "Karikarsson." Finding out if these variations actually exist needs more digging into old records.
