In the Kashmiri language, "Hondu" refers to male sheep (ram). This nickname was given to a Pandit (Brahmin) man who was strong and healthy like a ram (sheep), meaning a strong man. The Handoo Pandit branch has produced many wise individuals.[7]

According to the Muslim Handoo's history

Handoo families were an educated class and trade or business family. The nickname "Handoo" was given to a man who were strong and healthy like a ram (sheep), meaning a strong man. Additionally, the Handoo Nickname or title was given to a man or family that was wealthy. For example, in Kashmiri language, "yem che baed hyend" means "these are big rich people," (indicating a wealthy man).[8] "Handoo" is a title given to individuals who were strong, wealthy, and wise.
