Bajwa (Punjabi: ਬਾਜਵਾ) (Hindi: बाजवा) (Urdu: باجوہ) is a Jat gotra or clan. They originally belonged to the region known as 'Bajwath' situated on the border of Jammu and Kashmir, and Punjab. They are now spread across the Punjab region divided between Northern India and Pakistan.[1]
Etymology
Bajwa is a well-known last name amongst Punjabis.
A Jat clan (Agricultural) found in Amritsar, and Multan and as a Jatt Sikh clan in Montgommery.[2]
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) is the 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).[3]
Bajwa in Persian also means "those who levied tax". Bajwas living in the Bajwat area (the Sialkot and 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]
