as far as I know all *kar ending are brahmins, kar means belonging to a place, usually western ghats of Maharastra. It basically intends to show that the family has roots in that particular village/town/region/district/city. E.g. Mumbaikar, Punekar, Gavaskar, Tendulkar,  Parulkar, Mangeshkar, etc.

originally it is only brahmins but those who didn't had last names or who want to change last names opted for some thing like *kar

Ambedkar was his adopted surname, the person who he adopted that name from was his mentor and a Brahmin. He's the one that introduced Bhimrao to Buddhism
