Name[edit]

In most books I've ever read, Gaekwar is spelled Gaekwar, not Gaekwad. I am not a Maratha speaker and don't know which is more appropriate, but certainly in 19th and 20th century British documents it's Gaekwar. I am considering moving the article. Any thoughts? -- TinaSparkle 23:25, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The correct form is the Marathi 'Gaikwad' or 'Gaekwad' whereas 'Gaekwar' is the Anglicised form as present in British documents. I dont think the article should be moved. Salilb (talk) 14:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My 1931 edition of "Who's Who" has an entry for "Baroda, H. H. Maharaja Gaekwar Sir Sayaji Rao III", apparently written by the Maharaja himself. Are we claiming that he did not know his own title? Maproom (talk) 12:43, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Surnames[edit]

So this list of 137 (or 140) surnames: does it purport to list all the surnames that are (or were) common in that former state, or those borne by Gaekwad descendants, or what?

I can see that the list was at one time arranged in local alphabetical order, but later additions apparently made a mess of that; and I can't correct it without knowing the original spellings. (For one thing, the transliteration does not distinguish between d and ḍ.) Here it is in English order.
