Purkayastha is not a surname, it is a title for rulers or administrators. 'Pur' means city/town/kingdom and 'Kayastha' meaning ruler or administrator. There are many Vaidik/Srotriya Brahmins from Sylhet district (currently in Bangladesh) of undivided Bengal who received the Purkayastha title. There are also many Kshatriyas or upper caste Kayastha of Bengal use this title as well.
