The sherpas who guide the climbers up the mountain are from several generations of a family named “Sherpa”. That is where they got their name. Just a bit of trivia I learned years ago.
In certain cultures, the last name commonly ends up describing the career. In the US, many, if not most, lower end and mid-range hotels are owned by Indians. Usually a family purchases one hotel, improves it and makes a profit, they then buy a better property and sell the older one to a relative.
The overwhelming majority of owners share the last name Patel. Patel is loosely transliterated as Innkeeper.
I do 100-150 hotel nights a year and have found that some of the Indians really understand the concept of hospitality, some truly don’t understand it and perform at their absolute minimum.
