The name is believed to be of Indian origin, and is traditionally associated with the state of Karnataka in South India. The surname is believed to have been adopted by families who were associated with the royal court of the Chalukya dynasty, which ruled in Karnataka from the 6th to the 12th centuries.

The Laxmidurga surname is found among people of various religions, including Hindus, Muslims, and Christians. Variations of the name include Laxmidurgi, Lakshmidurgi, Lakshmidurga, and Lakshmidurge. In some cases, the name may have been adopted as a result of intermarriage between families of different religions, or as a result of a family's conversion to a different religion.
