Yes, Jain tradition does recognize gotra in a social and family sense, but spiritually it is not the basis of liberation.

In Jain Dharma:

• Gotra usually means family lineage or clan identity.
• It is part of worldly identity, not the soul’s true nature.
• Jain teachings say the soul is independent of birth, caste, clan, and lineage.
• For spiritual progress, what matters is right faith, right knowledge, right conduct, not gotra.

Also, in Jain philosophy there is the idea of gotra karma, which is a type of karma that affects status, prestige, and social conditions in life. This is different from family lineage in ordinary use.

So, in short:

• Socially: gotra may be used.
• Spiritually: Jainism does not give gotra importance for moksha.
• The soul is beyond all such worldly labels.

If you want, I can also explain gotra karma in simple Jain terms.
