Chatterjee is a common surname in India, particularly in the state of West Bengal. It is derived from the word "Chattopadhyay," which means "teacher or scholar from Chatta," a village in present-day Bangladesh.
The Chatterjee surname is primarily associated with people who belong to the Brahmin caste, specifically those who are part of the Vaidya sub-caste. However, over time, individuals from other castes have adopted the Chatterjee surname as well.
Many notable personalities in Indian history have had the Chatterjee surname, including philosopher and social reformer Swami Vivekananda and Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen. The Chatterjee family has also been associated with Bengal Renaissance, a cultural and social movement that took place in Bengal during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Today, members of the Chatterjee family can be found in various professions, including academia, business, politics, and entertainment.
