Chodankar belongs to Daivadnya Brahmins from Goa. Daivadnya Brahmins are mistaken as Sonar by many people, but these two castes are completely different. Daivadnya Brahmins are originally the tribes from Goa who were earlier gold merchants and traders, hence they are mistaken as sonars.

Chodankar is a very common surname in Goa. A fairly well settled group, mostly in hotel & bar business. Many Chodankars in south goa are saraswats while some are also kshatriyas and daivadnya brahmins. They are often referred as baman (baaman) in Goa.
