Nayar (Khatri)

Nayyar/Nayar is a surname from the region of Punjab, India. The people who bear the name are Khatris belonging to the Sareen sub-group.[citation needed] The surname Nayyar drives basic origin from Kunjah in Gujrat district of Western Punjab (Now Pakistan) abutting to River Chenab area. A large number of Nayyars come from the Jalandhar District (a large number of them still live in Nurmahal in a region named Nijjaran Mohalla, and Ludhiana and Dasuya ( Distt Hoshiarpur)of Eastern Punjab.[citation needed] " The "JATHERE" of Nayyar's is situated at cheema road, Noormahal also known as sati Mata Mandir.

Village historians say that Nayyars were originally Nijjars and Khatri/Rajput Nijjar's changed their name to "Nayyar" under the suggestion of the British to distinguish themselves from Jatt Nijjars.[citation needed]
