I am looking for the history/meaning of the "title" 'roy chowdhury' ?

Where has it been used first? Who introduced it? Or where could I find information on this?

Thank you for your help!

Shouldn't Chaudhuri be up there as a spelling as well?

[edit] Spellings

I have added a new sections Spellings and removed a never ending list of wiki links from the introduction. I have also changed article and used only the most common spelling (same as article name). Only exception is where a specific spellings are discussed. These changes are based on my research on search results and usage of the different spellings on the web. Since there is no verifiable data that lists the different spellings of the name and number of people using it we can consider Google as an evidence for the moment. Feel free to contribute...

Below s the data collected from Google.
