Etymology of SHROFF

The word "shroff" comes from the Hindi and Urdu word "sarrafa", which means "money changer" or "banker". The term was adopted from the Persian word "sarraf", which has the same meaning. The Persian term itself is derived from the Arabic word "sarrāf". The word "shroff" was first recorded in the English language in the early 19th century, during the British colonial rule in India, to refer to the local money changers and banking professionals. Over time, it also came to be used more broadly to denote a person who handles financial transactions or money.
