Caste systems vary by region and culture, so it is important to note that surnames alone cannot definitively determine one's caste. The surname "Shetty" is commonly associated with the Bunt community in Karnataka, India, who traditionally belong to the Vaishya varna. However, it is essential to approach caste-related inquiries with sensitivity and understanding of the complexities and nuances of India's social structures.
