From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nauhwar (नौहवार) is a gotra of Jats found in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh in India. They belong to Chandravanshi kshatriyas. They come mostly from Naujheel area in district Mathura in Uttar Pradesh. Nauhwar and Narwar Jats are cousins/brothers. They get Narwar name after Narhari, a great Jat warrior, from Nahwar clan. Intermarriages are banned in these two gotras. Nauhwars are believed to have originated from village Shall (Salya) in block Naujheel. There are about 100 villages of Nauhwars and 12 of Narwars. In Palwal (Faridabad district) area of Haryana they are called Nauhwar-Chauhans. Mr. C.L. Verma of Palwal, a famous rich industrialist, was Nauhwar-Chauhan Jat.
