Last name origin & meaning: Indian (Panjab): Hindu and Sikh name based on the name of a
mercantile community of the Panjab. It is derived from a place name,
Aror (now known as Rohri, in Sind, Pakistan). According to legend the
Aroras are of Kshatriya stock, but denied their Kshatriya origin in
order to escape persecution by Paras Ram (parašurāma in
Sanskrit means ‘Rama with the axe’), calling themselves Aur,
which means ‘someone else’ in Hindi and Panjabi. Some believe the
Aroras to be related to another prominent mercantile community of the
Panjab, the Khatris.
