TheCapildeo family (pronounced [kəpiləd̪eːoː] Indo-Trinidadian and Tobagonian family ofHindu pundits , politicians, scientists, attorneys, and writers. The most notable members are 2001 Nobel laureateV. S. Naipaul and mathematician and politicianRudranath Capildeo . The ancestral home of the Capildeo family is known as Anand Bhavan ("The Lion House")[ 1] Chaguanas ,Caroni County ,Trinidad and Tobago .No-one today knows how the name Kapil transformed into Capildeo. It is possible that Kapil added dev, meaning God, from his village's name of Mahadeva Dubey to his name. Transliteration fromHindi toEnglish was not well developed in the 19th century and words were spelt differently then from the way they are now. Thus, Kapil was changed to Capil and dev to deo, giving Kapil's descendants the surname of Capildeo.
