The '''Gandhi family''' is the family of [[Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi]] (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948), commonly known as '''''Mahatma Gandhi'''''; Mahatma meaning "high souled" or "venerable" in Sanskrit; <ref name="Mahatma name">{{cite news|title=Mahatma name|publisher=behindthename.com|access-date=5 January 2017|url=http://www.behindthename.com/name/mahatma}}</ref> the particular term 'Mahatma' was accorded Mohandas Gandhi for the first time while he was still in South Africa, and not commonly heard as titular for any other civil figure even of similarly rarefied stature or living or posthumous presence.<ref name="Mahatma title to Bapu">{{cite news|title=Mahatma title to Bapu|website=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=5 January 2017|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Scribe-not-Tagore-gave-Mahatma-title-to-Bapu/articleshow/50989682.cms}}</ref><br />

Mohandas Gandhi was the leader of the [[Indian independence movement]] in [[British Raj|British-ruled India]]. Mohandas Gandhi has been called contemporary, post-colonial sovereign India's [[Father of the Nation]], a title first given to him by [[Subhas Chandra Bose]] on 6 July 1944 during Bose's address on the Singapore Radio. On 28 April 1947, [[Sarojini Naidu]] too referred to Gandhi with the title ''Father of the Nation''.<ref name="Father of The Nation">{{cite news|title=Father of The Nation|website=[[Hindustan Times]]|access-date=5 January 2017|url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/lucknow/who-named-mahatma-gandhi-father-of-nation-govt-foxed/story-w1Mo525w6QoETwc93nf3QI.html}}</ref> Mohandas Gandhi is also referred to as '''Bapu''' ([[Gujarati language|Gujarati]]: endearment for "father") in India, as prime minister Nehru called him at his funeral. In common parlance in India he is often called '''Gandhiji'''; 'ji' being a honorific suffix. Gandhi has also been referred to (mostly by British officials) as Gae-ndy or Ga-ndhi as in Hindi the a makes an "ah" sound.<br />

Prior to the Mahatma's grandfather being a Prime Minister in two different monarchial states, after a principled falling out with a royal faction in his first state, several generations of the Gandhi men had been Deputy Prime Ministers, if their career status is considered sufficiently notable in this family of political officials, then numeration of their generations as a 'dynasty' of ministers would be several numbers higher. Five generations before the Mahatma's grandfather, Lalji Gandhi (born circa 1674) was the first of 5 successful generations of Naib Diwans of the Princely state of Porbander.<ref>{{cite web |title=Lalji Gandhi |url=https://www.geni.com/people/Lalji-Gandhi/6000000009442164328 |website=Geni |publisher=Geni.com |access-date=27 December 2022}}</ref><br />

The '''[[Nehru-Gandhi family]]''', India's other significant family with surname Gandhi, is unrelated by biology and marriage to the family of Mahatma Gandhi, however the same spelling of 'Gandhi' came into the Nehru-Gandhi family when [[Jawaharlal Nehru]]'s daughter [[Indira Gandhi|Indira]] married politician [[Feroze Gandhi]] who had changed the spelling of his surname Ghandy to Gandhi precisely to match that of [[Mahatma Gandhi|Mahatma Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi]], revered as the 'father of the Indian nation'.<ref name="Guha">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8FKepYC6wzwC&pg=PA33|title=India after Gandhi: The History of the World's Largest Democracy|last=Guha|first=Ramachandra|publisher=Pan Macmillan|year=2011|isbn=978-0330540209|at=p.&nbsp;33, footnote 2 (chapter 14)}}: "Feroze Gandhi was also from the Nehrus' home town, Allahabad.
