[Facts] Goan Catholics are Konkani people. They speak the Konkani language, which already exists as a usage. (m)

I see that the Goan Catholics have names like Bosteanv and Foransik:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goan_Catholics#Names_and_surnames (in English)
Are these names specific/limited to Goan Catholics? Meaning: those names are not used by other Konkani peoples?
If not, then I don't think that they will need a separate category. All Goan Catholic names can then simply be listed under "Konkani".
But if yes, then I would certainly welcome the introduction of a usage along the lines of "Konkani (Goan Catholic)".

There is also a category "Indian (Christian)" which might be appropriate
In the name's description more details can be provided about where and who uses the name.

Cool! I would do that! Should I fix the names we added with the usage "Goan Catholic"?
