Devkant Raina says about the surname Raina it looks really funny that people have devised their own concepts and floated them. Most of them are themselves raina's and god knows from where they devised that Raina's are the same as Reen or Razdan. most of them do not know why they carry the caste Raina behind their names and boastfully tell their cooked up story. Rainas are direct descendants to Sage Agastya also termed as muni Agastyar (In Tamil Nadu). He was the first Siddha ever born. The family that started from him was the Raina's because it all started from Raina Baadi a place in kashmir. The surname is nothing but name of place from where the Raina family started.

ROHIT RAINA says about the surname Raina RAINA is a surname and its not sure whether RAINA is derived from Razdan or Razdan is derived from RAINA. Many believe that it basically depend on "Gautras". People say Raina's were administrator Brahmins. As the whole region was a Brahmin Hindu Region so Administrators were required thats why the term "RAZ" which in Kashmiri means Ruler (kind of) there came the word Razdan.and Razdan and Raina are one and the same thing, they just used different surnames, but family tree is same. Gautras like "SWAMI GAUTAM" etc is few. Thanks Rohit Raina twitter-@rohitraina facebook- fb.com/rraina2

Raj Pandit says about the surname Sharma Namaskar Mahara In fact the founding author of the Kashmiri Pandit almanac (Vijayeshwar Panchang)was none other than Jyotishi Aftab Sharma (1887-1966), a native Kashmir Pandit. Any KP worth their salt buys a copy of this almanac as an essential part of the Bharun thali used in the KP New Year Puja (Navreh). Every copy of the Vijayeshwar Panchang has a picture of Pandit Aftab Sharma on the back of the front cover.
