Ambadawe[1][2][3] is a village in the Mandangad taluk of Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra, India.[4] This village is where Dr. B. R. Ambedkar got his current known surname, "Ambedkar", from his father's last name, "Sapkal". At that time it was common for village name of children to be written instead of family name in school register. "Ambadawe" was later changed to "Ambedkar" by teacher of Ambedkar at that time.Template:Cn
