'''Kanitkar''' is a surname used by Konkanastha Chitapavan sub-caste of [[Brahmin]]s in [[India]].  Kanitkars, like most other Konkanastha Chitpavan Brahmins, originate in the [[Konkan]] strip on the western seacoast of India - about 300-500 kilometers south of [[Mumbai]]. Kanitkars (other names: Satkar) were from original five towns and 23 descendant families, spread to 110 towns by 1988. Kanitkars belong to Kaushik Gotra, and consider Shri [[Vyadeshwar]] at Guhaghar, [[Maharashtra]], India as their primary "family god" [Kul Daivat].
