Kaul (also spelled as Koul, Kaula) is a well-known surname of Kashmiri Pandits. Kauls belong to the Saraswat Brahmin class (which forms the apex of the Indian caste order) & trace their descent to Lord Dattatreya, the legendary son of the sage Atri & Anusuya.
The surname Kaul may have originated from the Sanskrit word Kaula 'Well Born' (from Sanskrit Kula 'Family'). The surname Kaul may have been derived from Mahakaul (The Great Kaul), which is an epithet of Shiva. This has led many scholars to believe that all Shaivas of Kashmir could have been Kauls. This view, however, is not supported by too many scholars. Kaul equates to Kula (clan in English) in Sanskrit. Clan is Klane in German.
The first prime minister of free India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, also claimed to be a Kaul. Jawaharlal Nehru writes in his autobiography: We were Kashmiris. Over two hundred years ago, early in the eighteenth century, our ancestor came down from that mountain valley to seek fame and fortune in the rich plains below. Those were the days of the decline of the Moghal Empire after the death of Aurungzeb, and Farrukhsiar was the Emperor. Raj Kaul was the name of that ancestor of ours and he had gained eminence as a Sanskrit and Persian scholar in Kashmir. He attracted the notice of Farrukhsiar during the latter's visit to Kashmir, and, probably at the Emperor's instance, the family migrated to Delhi, the imperial capital, about the year 1716. A jagir with a house situated on the banks of a canal had been granted to Raj Kaul, and, from the fact of this residence, 'Nehru' (from nahar, a canal) came to be attached to his name. Kaul had been the family name; this changed to Kaul-Nehru; and, in later years, Kaul dropped out and we became simply Nehrus.
