Thanks. utcursch &#124; talk 13:55, 14 February 2020 (UTC)


 * I removed it because there is no proper source provided for etymology. The link provided as source only explain the surname has dravidian linguistics root. Sanskrit version is part of hindutva propaganda. I hope Wikipedia should be propaganda free. Thank you for restoring content and promoting wrong information.

 * The source explicitly states "The ordinary derivation is from the Sanskrit go, a cow, but Gustav Oppert contends that the root of Gauda is a Dravidian word meaning a mountain", which is what the article states. Please cite a source for the claim that this is "Hindutva propaganda". utcursch &#124; talk 17:10, 15 February 2020 (UTC)

"The ordinary derivation is from the Sanskrit go" there is no such derivation exist. Ordinary derivation is guvanda or gamunda. Gamunda related to grama vruddha prakrit word for village head. But guvada still has direct meaning related to Highlander. Guda/Koda means mountain in dravidian word. Such surname exist in near by close proximity other dravdian group for eg: gounder, kongu,govdar etc https://karnatakaitihasaacademy.org/the-origin-of-the-word-gowda/
