Krishnamurthy Family History

Krishnamurthy Surname Meaning

Indian (southern states): from a personal name based on Sanskrit krṣṇamūrti ‘manifestation of Krishna’ (from krisna ‘black’ an epithet of an incarnation of the god Vishnu + murti ‘image manifestation’).

— Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames this name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
