Chandrasekhar family
The Chandrasekhar family is a distinguished Indian intellectual family, several of whose members achieved eminence, notably in the field of physics. Two members of the family, Sir C. V. Raman and his nephew, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, were Nobel laureates in physics. This family does not have a surname and majority of its members follow a patronymic naming custom, which could either be (father's name - name) or (name - father's name). Members of the Chandrasekhar family are all descended from R. Chandrasekhara Iyer, hence the repeated usage of this name, which is spelled in various ways. The family caste name "Aiyar" is sometimes spelled "Iyer" or "Ayyar".
