The surname "MIT," now famous because of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, probably has older and broader origins.
However, if we think about possible ancestral names that "MIT" could stand for, we can make some educated guesses. If this surname came from a longer Indian name like "Mittal" or "Mitra," then historical migrations within India are important. The rise and fall of empires, such as the Mughal Empire, often caused people to move and resettle. People looking for jobs or escaping wars might have taken their surnames, and versions of them, to new areas. Likewise, British colonial rule sometimes led to forced labor migrations, which also changed how surnames were spread. Without knowing the specific origin of this surname, I can only suggest these possibilities.
