Arora Family History
Arora Name Meaning
Indian (Punjab): from the name of a mercantile community of the Punjab. It is derived from a placename Aror (now called Rohri in Sindh 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’). They called themselves Aur which means ‘someone else’ in Hindi and Punjabi.
