Fazeel says about the surname Jan the word "JAN" is a kashmiri word meaning 'good' or 'righteous'. This surname was an epitaph given to the Qazi family of Ajas -Bandipora (Baramulla) due to their good deeds and help rendered to the local population. The surname has been adopted by many in Kashmir these days but the genesis of this surname resides with the orignal jan family which resided in Ajas-Bandipora and now has branched its scions at other places , in and outside J&K, mainly Srinagar and Jammu.

Avishek Dhar says about the surname Dhar I believe that our family migrated from Kashmir.As i heard from my grandfather and elders from my family that we were staying in moymoysing(District) which is now in Bangladesh and we came there from India's northern region.It's been said that we came there for business and till now our family is basically a business family. But here we say we are kayastha and the rest is our physics has a resemblance with the kind of north people. So may be we we Bengali Dhar have migrated from kashmir.

M. Usman Dar says about the surname Dhar Dar is differeent than Dhar. Dhar is a brahmin surname found only among kashmiri Batta. Dar on the other hand are predominantly descendants of non-brahmin rural agricultural population of kashmir and are almost 99% muslims. Pronunciation of Dar is with hard D and is pronounced as Daar in kashmiri. Dhar is totally different and is pronounced with soft D and liguistically it is impossible for Dar and Dhar to be of the same origin. I have never seen in my life any kashmiri muslim who has surname of Dhar , they are just Dar. And a very important thing about Dar mulims kashmiris is that they are almost all agriculturists and quite agressive in their character, the closest tribe to them is Lone which is another kashmiri muslim kram also found chiefly in villages of kashmir doing agriculture. I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that both Dar and Lone are descended from ancient original dardic population of kashmir valley and hence they have agressive characters like all other dardic tribes found in gilgit and chitral and pashtun lands.
