Shadap: This surnames spread is a fascinating puzzle! Its tough to find details on forced migrations. But people with this surname probably moved a lot for better jobs and land – thats a big reason surnames spread. So, youd see groups of them settling where the best opportunities were. Family ties and marriages also played a part, creating bigger groups in some places.
However, I can imagine some possible variations: Shadapp, Shadup, or Shad.
