Hunjan
Hunjan is a surname found among Ramgarhias of India.
They are part of the Tarkhan (Punjab) clan, which was established from the Central Asian title, Tarkhan.
Muslim migrants, traders, merchants and nomadic tribes, coming from Hunjan, Iran, to the Punjab region converted to Sikhism - during its immense growth under Guru Gobind Singh's reign. This led to the migrants adopting a new belief; 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.
