'''Chaudhary''' (or '''Choudhary'''; also: Chaudhuri, Choudhuary, [[Chowdhury]]) is a common surname in [[indian subcontinent]], originally derived from an [[Indian honorifics|Indian hereditary title]]. "Chowdhury" is a term adapted from the Sanskrit word ''caturdhara'', literally "holder of four" (four denoting a measure of land). 'Chaudhary' was first bestowed by the various rulers of the [[Delhi Sultanate]], and the custom was continued by the breakaway [[Bengal Sultanate]]. Later, the [[Mughal Empire|Mughals]] and the [[Nawab]]s conferred the same title in great numbers. Chaudharies were "local magnates" responsible for land taxes alongside an ''amil'' (revenue collector) and a ''karkun'' (accountant) in the local-level administrative units known as [[parganas]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Administrative System - Sultani Period.|url=https://nios.ac.in/media/documents/SrSec315NEW/315_History_Eng/315_History_Eng_Lesson12.pdf|access-date=2020-12-10|archive-date=2021-04-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210414110607/https://nios.ac.in/media/documents/SrSec315NEW/315_History_Eng/315_History_Eng_Lesson12.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=University of Calicut, Kerala.|url=http://www.universityofcalicut.info/SDE/BA_his_medieval_india_society.pdf|access-date=2020-12-10|archive-date=2019-11-01|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191101045006/http://www.universityofcalicut.info/SDE/BA_his_medieval_india_society.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|title=Odisha State Open University - M.A. (History).|url=http://egyanagar.osou.ac.in/slmfiles/MHI-04-BLOCK-06.pdf}}</ref><br />
