Pandit or Pandith is an Indian surname.
The title pandit belongs to the "kumhar" caste which is a low caste as per hindu caste system. People confuse pandit surname with brahmins, brahmin titles include - jha, mishra, dixit, pandey, etc but not the title pandit itself. Thereby people with pandit as their surname belong to the "kumhar" caste.
Edit: The above is not true at all. My surname is Pandit and we are Brahmins. There are so many pandits who are Brahmins, specially in Maharashtra.
