Naidu literal meaning is protector.

Title of honour among Hindus in the Deccan. "The kings of Deccan also have a custom when they will honor a man or recompense their service done, and raise him to dignity and honour. They give him the title of Nayak."

It evolved in the following manner during different phases of history.

Many people with the Naidu surname had some remote ancestor who was a soldier that was promoted to "Nayaka". It is equivalent to a Baron. They served as Nayaks under the Chalukyas, Kakatiyas and Vijayanagar Emperors. The Kakatiya Dynasty had many prominent Nayakas, of which several were from a Kapu background. The Vijayanagar kings also had several Nayakas.

Naidus, especially of Kapu background, have migrated to several countries like United Kingdom (UK), South Africa, Mauritius, United States etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unfoldingtruth (talkcontribs) 16:19, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

'Naidu' is not a 'caste' & There is huge ambiguity in its usage by various castes today in 2024

I'm a Kamma Naidu myself from Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh, my father hails from Chittoor and my mother from Vellore Tamil Naidu both are Kamma's by caste and Naidu's by title and Telugu by language & so were my grandfathers on both sides. In my village all people are Kamma's and Naidu's by title and so are the majority in my district. But, when I recently went to Hyderabad for a job, seeing my father's name with the title 'Naidu' on the resume, A person thought I was Kapu, and initiated some caste related talks out of confusion & enthusiasm & it repeatedly occurred to me at many places. I thought to keep a full stop to this ambiguity once for all and this non-sensical identification of us in the Andhra.

All I wanted to tell is 'Naidu' is an honorary title & not a caste by itself, it is wrong to mislead public by calling it a caste by a few, especially on public domains such as wiki, Facebook, twitter & YouTube besides misleading several on the matrimonial sites. Most of the outsiders (People other than Telugu states) are getting confused with this ambiguous display of information on the Internet. Therefore, let's bring the real facts to the public together in detail with proper evidence, clarifying all the doubts one after the other without any hesitation & confusion, hence started this thread...!
