Thakor is Indian in Origin.
Thakor is an Indo-Aryan honorific turned given name and surname, most common in Gujarat. It descends from Middle Indo-Aryan thakkura (often Sanskritized as thakura), denoting "lord," "noble," or "master," and in devotional usage an epithet for a deity, especially Krishna/Vishnu, as in Gujarati Thakorji. Spellings and cognates include Thakur (Hindi/Bengali), Thakore and Thakoor (anglicized forms), Tagore (Bengali anglicization of Thakur), and the related ethnonym Thakuri in Nepal.
In medieval North India the title marked local chiefs and landholders and persisted into the zamindari era; many families kept it as a hereditary surname. In Gujarat it also denotes a Kshatriya community. As a given name Thakor is uncommon but used for Gujarati-speaking boys, conveying nobility and divine lordship. Related forms include Thakorji and the theophoric Thakurdas ("servant of the Lord").
