Okay, this isn’t really an Indian politics question, it’s a cultural one, but this is the most recent, somewhat relevant thread I could find on India…
I had a colleague from India whose name on our directory is listed as FNU [Last Name]. I never asked them what FNU stood for and then they changed schools and I was basically “oh well, I’ll never know”. But then she came up in a convo recently and someone from her department told me that she told them it meant “first name unknown”.
Is that a common thing..?
(She’s originally from Tiruchirappalli)
