Persaud is a Hindu surname primarily found in the Caribbean, especially Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago.
[1] Persaud is the most prevalent surname in Guyana with 21,855 [2] Guyanese persons documented to hold the name.
[4][5] Persaud is also the number one most popular Hindu surname in the United States, based on data from the 2010 U.S.
The name has connection to multiple Dharmic religions including Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism[9] where "Prasada" is a food that is used in religious offering.
This is due to a large amount of Indo-Caribbean immigration to North America and Europe (mainly the United Kingdom and the Netherlands).
