I need to rectify the spelling of my last name. Does that constitute a name change? The W in my last name has to be replaced by V. For some reason my grandfather used wrong english to write his vernacular name and made a mess with the spelling. My father has used the same one my grandpa used. But I noticed my uncle use a different one with V. How do I legally change it to the new spelling, especially since my college records show W in the name. example..

for instance - Walawalkar has to be written as Valavalkar.
