Bannerjee Origin and Meaning
The name Bannerjee is a girl's name of Gaelic origin.
Bannerjee is a feminine name of Indian origin, specifically Bengali. It's a variant spelling of 'Banerjee' or 'Bandyopadhyay,' which is actually a Brahmin surname from the Bengal region of India. The name derives from 'banaj' meaning 'merchant' and 'adhyaya' meaning 'study,' historically referring to scholars who studied commerce. While traditionally a family name, Bannerjee has occasionally been adopted as a given name, particularly in Western contexts where the distinction between Indian surnames and first names isn't always recognized. As a feminine given name, it's quite uncommon but carries cultural richness and historical significance from the Indian subcontinent, representing intellectual heritage and scholarly traditions.
