Mandal (Sanskrit: मण्डल, romanized: maṇḍala), also spelled Mondal (Bengali: মণ্ডল, romanized: môṇḍôl), is an honorific title that was used for local chieftains in present-day Bangladesh, India and Nepal. The title was usually hereditary and so, in modern times, the term is a common surname for both males and females.
