Jain samaj ma gotra no arth hoy chhe kul/vaansh-parampara athva parivaar ni pehchan. Pan ek jaiso sarvamanay Jain gotra-suchi nathi — gotra jagya, sampraday, ane samaj pramane alag hoy chhe.

Samanya rite Jain samaj ma gotra:

• Parivar/vaansh na aadhar par
• Sthanik parampara pramane
• Shwetambar ane Digambar parampara ma alag-alag pan hoy
• Ketlak samuday ma surnames ne pan gotra tarike olkhaay chhe

Udaharan tarike ketlak Jain parivar ma aava gotra/surnames mali shake chhe:

• Bafna
• Kothari
• Lunawat
• Sanghvi
• Doshi
• Shah
• Mehta

Aa badha sarvatra same arth ma gotra nathi, pan ghana sthalon par kul/pehchan tarike vapray chhe.

Saransh: Jain samaj ma gotra hoy chhe, pan eno koi ek universal list nathi. E community ane family pramane nirdharit hoy chhe.
