[edit] Derivation

Paudel/Poudyal or Poudel was derived from Paude (पौडी), a placename of various locations in India and Nepal; and a Sanskrit word Aalya (आलय) which means home. Those with the surname Paudel, Poudyal or Poudel are generally from the Brahmin caste. Another research found that before Paudel was used for surname, Bhatt was used. When some Bhatt emigrated to Nepal from Rajasthan(at the time, Himalayan Range included Afghanistan, Nepal, and India), they originated Paude, which later become Paudel circa 1100. In fact, Bhatt, both in Nepal and India also possess the same Gotras, Atreya as Paudel. Similarly, historic artifacts traced back to Rajendra Bikram Shah, King of Nepal (1813-1881) A.D. also proved a surprising facts that Paudel, Sigdel, and Bagale Thapa all have Atreya gotra and are interrelated.
