Bhatti Family History

Pakistani and Indian (Punjab Rajasthan): Muslim Rajput and Sikh name probably derived from the eponymous ancestor of the Bhatti tribe. Etymologically the name is related to Sanskrit bhaṭṭa ‘lord’ (see Bhat). This tribe is by far the largest and most widely distributed of the Rajput tribes of the Punjab.

There is also an area in the Punjab called Bhattiana which was once ruled by the Bhattis. Bhatti occurs as a personal name in Sanskrit literature. It was the name of a well-known Sanskrit poet of the 6th century.
