Sriwass

Sriwass is a surname primarily found in India. It's likely a variant spelling or a derivative of the more common surname "Srivastava." Surnames in India often reflect caste, ancestral occupation, region of origin, or religious affiliation. "Sri," a prefix often used to denote respect or auspiciousness in Hinduism, is frequently incorporated into names. "Wass," as a suffix, is less common in standard Sanskrit-derived names and could suggest regional variations or family-specific adaptations of the surname. Further research, particularly genealogical study focusing on families bearing this name, would be required to determine its precise etymology and historical origins with certainty.

Alternatively, "Sriwass" could occasionally function as a given name, although its usage as a surname is significantly more common.
