Bose Surname
“Descendant of Bose clan”
History & Significance
Bose is the Bengali pronunciation of Basu, from Sanskrit vasu. Risley (1891) records Basu as a title of the Dakshin Rarhi and Bangaja Kayasthas of Bengal, and names Basu, Ghosh and Mitra as the Kulin families of the Dakshin Rarhi. He also records a Basu sub-section in the Bharadvaja section of the Utkal (Odia) Brahmans, so the name is not only Kayastha.
