Ved is a British surname with origins in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. This surname is believed to have been derived from the Sanskrit word "Veda", which means knowledge or wisdom.

The Ved surname is quite rare in the UK, likely due to its distinct Indian roots. However, those who bear this surname often have a connection to Indian culture and heritage. They may have ancestors who emigrated from India to the UK, or they themselves may have Indian roots.

Interestingly, the Ved surname is not exclusive to India or the UK, and can be found across the globe where individuals of Indian descent have settled.

While the Ved surname may not be widely recognised in British society, it serves as a reminder of the diverse cultural influences that have shaped the demographics of the UK over the centuries.

There are approximately 87 people named Ved in the UK. That makes it one of Britain's least common surnames. Only around one in a million people in Britain are named Ved.
