Fatania Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
In the year 1046 Bardai Brahmin, Naranji Gor's two sons, namely Odhavaji and Kanji filled a Kavad with water (i.e. two pots filled with water, attached by rope on the ends of a supporting wooden rod) which is then carried on a shoulder. The two brothers started to go on a yatra to Dwarka, to bathe Thakurji in Gomati.
On the way, they came to a village called Fatana (a village in Mount Barda in Porbander State). Here they went to a house of a Gujar-Sutar (carpenter) whose name was Velji and his surname (shankh) was Parmar. At Velji Parmar's house, they drank water from his water pot.
As both the brothers were Brahmin, as they drank water from Gujar Sutar's home, they were both considered impure (in Gujarati Vatlela) Brahmins.
The Bardai Brahmin community made them outcast because they were Vatlela. After this, Odhavaji and Kanji, came back to the village Fatana and married two of Velji Gujar's daughters. As Gujar Sutar is being Prajapati Kumbhar both, Odhavji and Kanji became Kumbhar. And as they were living in Fatana village, they became known as Fatania.
Therefore, since then, Odhavji and Kanji, being Brahmin became known as Prajapati Kumbhar and their surname (shankh) given as Fatania.
The root of the Fatania family started this way from Bardai Brahmin of Fatana to present caste Kumbhar community.
