Ghosh is an Indian surname found among Bengali Hindus.
Ghoshes mostly belong to Kayastha caste in Bengal. The Bengali Kayasthas evolved as a caste from a category of officials or scribes, between the 5th/6th century AD and 11th/12th century AD, its component elements being putative Kshatriyas and mostly Brahmins.[1] Ghoshes are considered as Kulin Kayasthas, along with Boses and Mitras.[2]
Ghosh is also used as surname by the Sadgop (milkman) caste in Bengal.[3][4]
