Sanghrajka

Sanghrajka

Sanghrajka is a surname which originated in India and belongs to Jain families. The name has its origins primarily in a small village called Jhar in Kathiavar in India. The Sanghrajka families migrated from Jhar to the various towns of Gujarat such as Rajkot, Dhari, and Amreli.

It is believed that the surname was bestowed upon the family as an honour for the services provided by the family to the Jain ascetics (Sangh). This is assumed from the literal meaning of the word: "Kings of the Sangh".

In the 21st century, Sanghrajka families exist in many parts of the world: India, Kenya, UK, and USA.
