Murthy Family History
Murthy Name Meaning
Indian (Karnataka): from Sanskrit mūrti ‘manifestation image’. As a personal name this evolved from the final element of compound names such as Ramamurthy ‘manifestation of Rama’ and Krishnamurthy ‘manifestation of Krishna’. — Note: Since South Indians traditionally do not have hereditary surnames this name was in most cases registered as such only after immigration of its bearers to the US.
