Additional Information:
This last name is pronounced differently in various regions of India. Its is one of the few common names not based on caste so much as function. The title was usually given to Zamindars who could range from petty landowners to powerful lords who answered to the monarch in their region.
I have come across this name in Bengal, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. Of course it also exists in Bangladesh and Pakistan, by extension.
There were also suffixed names like Roy-Choudhuri, probably to denote rank.
The pronunciation I submitted is the common North-Indian way of saying the name.
