Not sure but I believe the "Patel" is Hindi for "Jones". In Polish it would be "Gorski".

Actually, I heard from a Patel that in old times, many Indian people really didn’t have a last name the way that we understand it. When they moved to the big city, they needed one. So, what to do? The Patels were very successful and wealthy...so why not just take the last name of “Rockefeller”?

Just as “Jones” is translated “Park” in Korean, and “Nguyen” in Vietnamese!
