जाट

Hindi

Etymology

Inherited from Ashokan Prakrit *𑀚𑀝𑁆𑀝 (*jaṭṭa), probably related to Sanskrit जर्तिक (jartika), a tribe name.[1] This could ultimately be from a farming term meaning "villager, herdsman, shepherd, cattle tender."[2] Cognate with Punjabi ਜੱਟ (jaṭṭa), Sindhi 𑋂𑋆𑋣 (jaṭu), and Romani zatt.
