The doctor who is mentioned does likely belong to the Parsi community of India. The Parsis came from Iran to India to flee Islamic persecution. And they are among the "model minorities" in India. There are many famous people with occupational last names. But I don’t know why. Did they not have last names originally? Last name convention in India varies wildly. Bengalis, Marathis, Hindustanis go with the family last name. Many Muslims do not. They can choose among Ali, Sheikh, Mian, etc. South Indians often put their father's name as last name. Did Parsis have none? I wonder. Farokh Engineer [0] was a famous Indian cricketer. I have even heard of names like Daruwala (seller of alcohol), Screwwala (screws), etc. IRL. The wildest one that I have heard is SodaBottleOpenerWala [1]. Wala just means "having". So a seller of X would be X-wala [1a]. The Parsis are a influential minority who enjoy a good perception from the population. Homi Bhaba, FRS [2] was the father of Indian Nuclear Science. Sam Maneckshaw [3] was a legendary Field Marshal who helped liberate Bangladesh from Pakistan. Ratan Tata is the leader of Tata Group in India. They own Jaguar Land Rover brand. Parsis were, and still somewhat are in prominent positions of Bollywood, science, military, and definitely industry.
