Yes — in a Jain family context, “Pamecha” is usually understood as a gotra / lineage branch name, not a separate religious category. In practice, people may use it as a family branch identifier alongside or instead of a surname. ( jainknowledge.com)

So if someone says “Pamecha types,” they may mean:

• gotra / clan branch
• lineage within a Jain community
• surname branch used in family records or marriage पहचान ( jainknowledge.com)

In Jain usage, this is generally a social/family identification, while the main Jain identity remains the faith and its principles. ( jainknowledge.com)
