Ahluwalia surname meaning

Word history

Wiktionary records अहलूवालिया (ahlūvāliyā) as a Hindi surname. The entry traces the word through Punjabi āhalūvālīā and explains the place-name base āhalū with the ending vālīā. It identifies Ahlu as a toponym, rather than supplying a literal English meaning for the place name. अहलूवालिया is the Hindi spelling of the longer derived word. This word history does not establish an individual household’s connection to that place.
