Word history
Wiktionary records अग्रवाल (agravāl) as a Hindi surname. The entry explains a formation from Agroha plus the ending -vāl. Its spelling अग्रोहा is part of the cited place name; अग्रवाल is the derived surname word. The source therefore supports a geographic word history rather than a letter-by-letter expansion of Agarwal in English. The place connection does not supply an individual household’s migration history.
