}}Shenoy is a common Brahmin surname from Goa and coastal Karnataka in India.[1] It is found among Hindus of the Goud Saraswat Brahmin community following Smartha Sampradaya of Kavale Matha or Madhva Sampradaya of either Gokarna Matha or Kashi Matha .[2] Some Brahmin Christian families of South Canara have reverted to their pre-conversion surnames like Shenoy.[4]

Etymology

श्रेणीपति > शेणीव्वई > शेणय

The original word is Shrenipati or the leader of the guild, which got converted as Shennivayi in Apabhraṃśa, and later as Shenai or Shenvi in old Konkani.

Background and origins

The Shenoys were generally involved in administration of the city. The word 'Shenoy' itself means a writer.[3] GSBs were administrators of the temples. The word 'Shenoy' is also interchangeable with its counterpart '[https://www.google.co.in/search?rlz=1C1GGRV_enIN755IN755&q=sanskrit+word+shanbhag&oq=sanskrit+word+shanbhag&gs_l=psy-ab.12...0.0.0.6256.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0..0.0....0...1..64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.UfpV5uZ69bI Shanbhag]'

The Saraswats migrated from Goa during the Muslim and Christian conquests during 1600, and carried their surname with them. Thus the word 'शणै' is transliterated in Latin script as Shenoy in Karnataka and as Xennai, Shenoi, Shenai, Shenvi or even Sinai in Goa.[3] "Xennoi" was used in the erstwhile Portuguese territory of Goa but has given way to "Xennai" today.[4]

It was common in Goa for Shenoys and other Saraswats to add the name of their ancestral village or title after Shenoy to denote their origin.[5]
