Sinhala Caste System Help

[Slifer]

Hey Guys!

How are you all? I just wanted to know a bit a about our sinhala caste system, I've never come across this, until my best friend mentioned it. Though I was born in France, I have always been proud to call myself Sri Lankan, a Sinhalese, but this topic has now got me curious. Apparently, you can tell your caste from your surname. So my friends, I just want to ask which caste I would be classified as? My surname is Karowgodage Don... (its also spelt as Kerowgodage, Kerewgodage, or Karawgodage).... and my mother's maiden name is Ranasinghage Fernando...

Hope you guys find this topic interesting... :D
