Hunjan
Hunjan is a surname found among Punjabi Brahmins originating from Hunjan, Iran and who settled in the Potohar Plateau.
Scholars and merchants coming from Hunjan, Iran, to the Punjab region assimilated into the Mohyal Brahmin community. Many converted to Sikhism - during its immense growth under Guru Gobind Singh's reign. This led to the migrants adopting a new belief; however, they retained their surnames - coming from the migrants' ancestral village in Iran. Modern day descendants can trace their origin to Iranian and Indo-Aryan roots.Notable people with the surname
