Nepal (i/nəˈpɔːl/;Nepali:नेपाल[neˈpal]), officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlockedcountry located in South Asia. With an area of 147,181 square kilometres (56,827sqmi) and a population of approximately 27 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by area and the 41st most populous country. It is located in the Himalayas and bordered to the north by China and to the south, east, and west by India. Nepal is separated from Bangladesh by the narrow Indian Siliguri Corridor and from Bhutan by the Indian state of Sikkim. Kathmandu is the nation's capital city and largest metropolis.
The mountainous north of Nepal has eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest (Nepali:सगरमाथाSagarmāthā). More than 250 peaks over 20,000ft (6,096m) above sea level are located in Nepal. The southern Terai region is fertile and humid.
Hinduism is practiced by about 81.3% of Nepalis, the highest percentage of any country. Buddhism is linked historically with Nepal and is practiced by 9% of its people, followed by Islam at 4.4%, Kiratism 3.1%, Christianity 1.4%, and animism 0.4%. A large portion of the population, especially in the hill region, may identify themselves as both Hindu and Buddhist, which can be attributed to the syncretic nature of both faiths in Nepal.
'Nepal'(नेपाल) is a surname used by KhasBrahmin people of Nepal. They are the Aryans who have Persian ancestry. Nepal's are the family descendents of Rishi or sage Ghritakaushik which is also their Gotras. Nepal are said to be Kanyakubja Brahmin which fall under category Pancha-Gauda (worldwide classification) which means 'Northern Brahmin' and under Upadhyaya Brahmin in Nepalese classification of Brahmin.
Origin of Nepal as a surname
Before origin of surname Nepal, Nepals used to write their surname as Pandit or Upadhyaya. During the regime of 'Malla' King around 12th century in Khas Empire (present western Nepal) Pandit Jayabidyadhar was an advisor to the royal throne and administrator of Empire.
In Khas empire there was tradition of honoring the people who dedicated their life for welfare of nation by providing them ownership rights of certain regions of Empire. Also they used to be called by name of that region. This system was known as 'Birtabarichalan' or 'Birtapratha'
Following the tradition on 5th Magh, 1192 Bikram sambat (Nepalese Year) Malla king 'Akshay' Son of King 'Jitaridev' honored 2nd son of Bhagavan Bhaskar Pandit (Royal Priest) 'Jayabidyadhar Pandit' by providing him ownership of 3 different parts of empire named 'Nepa','Khaan', Barala (now lies in Western Nepal) as he dedicated his life for political and economic development empire and settling the trade dispute with Tibet. These 3 different regions were divided among sons of Jayabidyadhar Pandit where ownership of "Nepa" was granted to 1st son Sarwagyadhar Nepal. Nepa (name of region) was added to suffix aalaya (Nepa+aalaya) and then Nepal surname was introduced which was firstly used by 'Sarwagyadhar Nepal' and followed by his generations.

Nepal (i/nəˈpɔːl/;Nepali:नेपाल[neˈpal]), officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, is a landlockedcountry located in South Asia. With an area of 147,181 square kilometres (56,827sqmi) and a population of approximately 27 million, Nepal is the world's 93rd largest country by area and the 41st most populous country. It is located in the Himalayas and bordered to the north by China and to the south, east, and west by India. Nepal is separated from Bangladesh by the narrow Indian Siliguri Corridor and from Bhutan by the Indian state of Sikkim. Kathmandu is the nation's capital city and largest metropolis.
The mountainous north of Nepal has eight of the world's ten tallest mountains, including the highest point on Earth, Mount Everest (Nepali:सगरमाथाSagarmāthā). More than 250 peaks over 20,000ft (6,096m) above sea level are located in Nepal. The southern Terai region is fertile and humid.
Hinduism is practiced by about 81.3% of Nepalis, the highest percentage of any country. Buddhism is linked historically with Nepal and is practiced by 9% of its people, followed by Islam at 4.4%, Kiratism 3.1%, Christianity 1.4%, and animism 0.4%. A large portion of the population, especially in the hill region, may identify themselves as both Hindu and Buddhist, which can be attributed to the syncretic nature of both faiths in Nepal.
("Man it's a trip") ("Man it's a trip") (turn) ("Man it's a trip, trip, trip") (turn) [One.Be.Lo] Now as the world turns, when will us black people learn? (damn) Before we had a perm, we came from Adam's sperm You see with plain vision, we live in the same system Became victims, once was able, can't even raise children Where's 'the village' when you need it? A question for the person in the looking glass Our community's lookin bad like a bucket full of crabs That's the crooked path If we don't straighten this out, how long would it last? Every night you hear the bullets blast Even if you in the suburbs every night, you see the footage flash across your screen, I'll tell you my biggest pet peeve You lookin at it thinkin like, "It don't affect me" You livin large I'm thinkin like, "It don't impress me" Rockin them chains, Sojourner Truth is tryin to set free It don't take a pro-fessor to see the o-pressor got the whole treasure Now how many Africans slain for one platinum chain on yo' dresser? I'm no better just because I think I know better Tell me who you trust when you're in your new trucks Some of us dyin over a few bucks, killers old enough to ride a school bus With brothers like these tell me, who needs the Ku Klux? Women walkin with titties out cause the truth sucks It's time to breastfeed, knowledge is the best key We got us pourin liquor out for all the dead G's Rest? Please, in the grave you gettin less peace ("Man it's a trip") ("Turnin, turnin") ("The world keeps turnin..") ("On its axis..") [One.Be.Lo] See in America they flamed bottle rockets when slaves was not abolished (true) Slayed a lot of fathers and raped a lot of mommas Them days cotton products, we blame our modern problems New ways they got us bondaged, the chains is psychologic The media be feedin us napalm atomics While the schools brainwash us, the crayons is toxic (blah!) Don't believe the hype, they can save all the drama Cause them apes not evolving, I can't swallow ya vomit My rights as a human they change laws in congress Now Shaytan (Satan) in office, we can't call him honest What part of the game do they play, cops or robbers?
