*The '''modern-day spellings''' of names originated when families translated their surnames to English, with no standardization across the country. Variations are regional, based on how the name was translated from the local language to English in the 18th, 19th or 20th centuries during British rule. Therefore, it is understood in the local traditions that Baranwal and Barnwal represent the same name derived from Uttar Pradesh and Punjab respectively. In the modern times, some states have attempted standardization, particularly where the surnames were corrupted because of the early British insistence of shortening them for convenience.<ref>"Surnames by country", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surnames_by_country#India, 8 March 2021.</ref> | *The '''modern-day spellings''' of names originated when families translated their surnames to English, with no standardization across the country.
