Sikh Surnames
Clans
These often reflect the profession or caste of the family. There are two broad categories: Jat (jut) and Khat(t)ri (kh - schwa - t - r - long e). Jats are historically land-owners, farmers or warriors. Khatris are historically merchants or, less commonly, warriors. Although someone with the last name 'Khatter', a derivative of Khatri, could be part of the Arora clan, this does not necessarily form part of the legal name.
