Etymology
Gandhi comes from an old Indian word gandhī, from gandha, meaning 'scent' or 'perfume', and it was originally an occupational name for a seller of perfumes or incense. So the name began as 'perfume seller', but today it is best known as the family name of Mohandas K. Gandhi, the leader of India's nonviolent independence movement.
