Chatterji is actually an anglicised version of a Bengali Brahmin family name 'Chattopadhyaya'. The original form, of course, was too difficult for the Englishmen to pronounce, so most anglicised Chattopadhyayas started calling themselves Chatterjis. Other such anglicised/shortened Bengali surnames include Bannerji, Mukherjee and Ganguly. You can find a lot of Chatterjis in today's Kolkata (Calcutta.)
