Subedi

Subedi (सुवेदी ) is one of the surnames of both Brahmin and Chhetri Varna in Nepal. In ancient days, people who could recite Veda easily (सु-वेद = सुवेदी ) were called by the surname Subedi. It is also believed that they originated from the same Village called Subeda which lies in the Rolpa, Bajhang District of Far Western Nepal which is why they are called Subedi. They belong to the Bharadwaja Gotra. Subedi are mostly found in the hilly region of Nepal. They are also found in certain states of India like Sikkim, Assam, and West Bengal. Significant numbers of the Subedi family are also found in the kingdom of Bhutan and Myanmar.
