Gardezi means someone who belongs to Gardez in Afghanistan. There have been a few known Sayyid families from Gardez who migrated to different parts of Pakistan. Their descendants still carry the surname Gardezi. Sayyid Gardezi community are traditionally the descendents of Sayyid Muhammad Shah Yusaf Gardezi. Mostly Sayyid Gardezi are living in Azad Kashmir and Punjab, Pakistan.

Same as the Sayyid who carry the surname "Bukhari". Bukhara today is in Uzbekistan. Most Sayyid Bukhari are traditionally descendants of Imam Ali Naqi so they can be called Naqvi too.
