Hunjan (Panjabi; Punjabi: ਹੁੰਜਾਣ; Persian: هونجان, also known as Hunejan, Hunjān and Hunan) is a surname found among Persian and Rajput and Mohyal Brahmins originating from Hunejan, Iran and who settled in the Salt Range and Majha regions of Punjab.[1]
Migrants, traders, merchants and nomadic tribes, coming from Hunejan, Iran to the Punjab region assimilated into the Rajput and Mohyal communities during medieval India known as persian tiger.[2] This led to the migrants adopting new beliefs; however, they retained their surnames - coming from the migrants' ancestral village in Iran. Modern day descendants can trace their origin to Iranian and Indo-Aryan roots.
