Origin and History of PULLAYYA

History:

People might have moved to find better jobs or marry into families elsewhere, creating new Pullayya communities. Forced movements, maybe because of wars or famines, also probably happened. Displaced people took this surname with them to new homes, spreading it around.

Description:

Pullayya: This surname probably comes from South India. The sounds suggest it has Dravidian roots, languages spoken in states like Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. It might be linked to specific groups within those states, maybe based on old jobs or where people lived. It might also be a less common name, or a slightly different spelling of a more usual one.

Another possibility is Pullya, a shorter version. We might also see Pullanna, although thats less certain. These are educated guesses based on how names usually change over time.
