ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Chaudhary

Okay, so imagine you and your friend have nicknames. Your friend's nickname is "Smith" and your nickname is "Chaudhary."

Now, "Chaudhary" is a special nickname that is often used by people in India and Pakistan. It originally referred to a person who owned or managed a piece of land, kind of like a boss or leader.

But today, "Chaudhary" is mostly used as a last name for people who come from certain regions in India and Pakistan. It's kind of like how some people have the last name "Smith" because their ancestors were blacksmiths.

So, in short, "Chaudhary" is a nickname-turned-last-name that is used by people in India and Pakistan.
