Chaudhry

The prestigious title/surname 'Chaudhry' (which is usually pronounced in a strong accent) originates from the Middle East in Asia and means the "holder of four" in its literal sense. However, it refers to the status and wealth (regarding money and land) of a certain small percentage of people from countries such as Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan (and others into which its people have migrated to over the years).

Person 1: Who is that man riding that huge camel and why is he wearing 30 gold rings?
Person 2: Don't know, he's probably a Chaudhry.
Person 3: I wouldn't get in his bad books, he owns the land we're standing on as we speak...
