kothari jains origion
“Kothari” is generally a Jain surname / family name, not a separate Jain sect. It is commonly found among Shwetambar and also some Digambar Jain families, especially in merchant communities of Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Maharashtra.
In Jain community tradition, surnames like Kothari often became associated with:
- business or trade families
- community roles
- local lineage or profession
- sometimes the title “kothar” meaning a person connected with accounts, storehouse, or treasury in old times
So, there is no single universal origin for all Kothari Jains. Their background can differ from family to family and region to region.
If you mean a specific Kothari Jain gotra, clan, or lineage, that would depend on the particular family branch.
