Word history
Wiktionary records ਚੌਲਾ (caulā) as a Punjabi surname. Wiktionary connects the surname form with cāval, uncooked rice. The cited Gurmukhi spelling ਚੌਲਾ differs from the spelling of that source noun. The word history is therefore a connection between related forms, rather than a letter-by-letter English translation. The food word supplies the lexical comparison and does not establish a farming or trading history for an individual.
