Chikhalia

Chikhalia is a surname of Indian origin, predominantly found among individuals belonging to the Parsi (Zoroastrian) community. The name is believed to be derived from a place name, likely referring to a village or region known for its clay ( chikhal in some Indian languages). Surnames based on geographical locations are common amongst Parsis and other Indian communities. The surname, therefore, likely signifies ancestral origins from or association with such a location. Variations in spelling may exist due to transliteration differences.
