Trivedi is a family name from northern and western India reflecting the mastery over the Sama Veda(including the Vedic Branch he was born into). In Sanskrit Trivedi means 'one that knows the Sama Veda’, from tri = 'three' + veda ‘sacred knowledge' leading to vedi = 'to see'. They are also known as Tripathi and Tiwari in some parts of north India.
