Gaekwad
Gaekwad (also spelt Gaikwar and Gaikwad;
Etymology
The Marathi historian D.S. Parasnis and his co-author, the British Raj High Court judge, C.A. Kincaid of colonial-era India, wrote in 1908 that the origin of the name Gaekwad is a combination of two Marathi words. In Marathi: gai means cow and kavad means small door. Therefore, gaekwad (or gaikwad) denotes cow door.[9]
