Sumitbhatt says about the surname Bhat i don't about rajesthan bhat because iam bhatt rajasthani bhatt some body ask me what the mean of bhatt iam glad please any body tell whats the mean of bhatt
Mazhar Butt says about the surname Bhat Does anyone know the origin of the surname Butt as listed against Dame Clar Butt's name?? What is the connection between her nationality and Kasmiri surname and how many other British people have their surnames as Butt's and how did their surname as Butt originate?? Quite a mystery which still has to be researched for roots! Here is more about her,,,,, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dame_Clara_Butt Dame Clara Ellen Butt, DBE (1 February 1872 – 23 January 1936), sometimes called Clara Butt-Rumford after her marriage, was an English contralto with a remarkably imposing voice and a surprisingly agile singing technique. Her main career was as a recitalist and concert singer.
Shanta says about the surname Bhan I believe that "bhanu" refers to "sun" in Sanskrit. As many Kashmiris were Brahmans, "Bhan" refers to Vedic and Aryan "sun worshippers" who were of the priestly caste. This is my surname also.
Mazhar Butt says about the surname Bhat There is a book published in Pakistan wherein the author has proven that Butts and Bhatti's are the same. The name of the book is 'Butt se Bhatti''...If someone wants to learn more about his caste he can buy this book from any leading book publisher in Lahore or Karachi. I am a pure Kasher breed- Butt, Lone's and Tantra's. My grand father/dadi migrated to Wazirabad from Kashmir, my nana/nani from Jammu.....my father moved from Bomabay to Karachi at the time of Patition. I live in Karachi but have never heard of any Kashmiri writing his name as 'Bhatt''... I had a customer from India, his name was Arun Bhatt, and he told me he was a Rajput and spoke Marathi and had no concern with Kashmir or Kashmiri's. According to Munshi Mohd Din Fauq, Butt's of Kashmir were a tribe like any other clan there. They overcame the Lone's who were among the ruling class and ruled Kashmir for some time when they were subdued by the Lone's. According to him and some other sources lower castes of Kashmiri's such as those Daangars etc switched over to call themselves Butt's. Even the Dars began to write Butt's with their names. Even today in Pakistan you will note people addressing Kashmiri of every Kashmiri caste as Butt's which goes to prove some element of 'superiority' does exist with the title BUTT? I also read somewhere that Kashmiri's of ancient times tranfixed the name of the place they belonged to with their names. I am not sure if there is any place in Kashmir called Butt?? Also, it is said that due to extremely religious-mindeness and saint-worshipping nature of the Kashmiri's many non-Butt's and people of other ethnic races who had settled down in Kashmir adopted the titles such as Khawaja with their names. I have glimpsed through the ancient history of Kashmir, the famous book called Taringini but was surprised to find NO mention of the caste Butt. However, it was consoling to note that all Kashmiri's were descendants of Princes or Raja's! That give Kashmiri's a valid plus point. Let not people like MU Butt wiggle and wallow with jealousy againt a fellow Kashmiri...
N. RoyChoudhury says about the surname Bhat Khwaja F.A.Butt is probably right. Bhatta, a Brahmin surname is often found in Assam. Some have added Acharya to their surnames to become Bhattacharyas. Sad so many Brahmins in Kashmir were forcefully converted!
