According to one theory, the word "Bajwa" is derived from the term ''Baaz Wala'', which can be loosely translated to "Owner of Falcon or Person having Falcons". "Baaz or Baaj" (pronounced as ''Baaz'' in colloquial [[Punjabi language|Punjabi]]) is the [[Arabic language|Arabic]] word for [[hawk]] or [[falcon]], while "wala" is an Indian suffix indicating a person owning (a given thing) or living (in a given area).<ref>A Gazetteer of Sialkot District Part A</ref> |

Bajwa in [[Persian language|Persian]] also means "those who levied tax". Bajwas living in the ''Bajwat'' area (the [[Sialkot District|Sialkot]] and [[Narowal District|Narowal]] districts in Punjab) were known to fight against the invading armies of [[Timur]], [[Ahmed Shah Abdali]] and others, who invaded India from the northwest.{{Citation needed|date=June 2007}} |
