About the Bhatti surname

India In India, the Bhati/Bhatti reside mainly in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan and Punjab (where they have traditionally come to be known as Bhatti in Punjabi). Gujarat In Gujarat, Bhatis have several jagirs in the Sabarkantha and Banaskantha District (former Idar State), including Munai, Torda, Bhutiya, Gorad, Ranasan, Lauk, Muloj, Solsanda ,Bamanvad , Chandarni,Balva[Dist:Gandhinagar] and Rampur. Bhati Rajputs in Gujarat are descendants of 12th-century immigrants from Jodhpur and Jaisalmer districts in Rajasthan.
