Answer

In Śvetāmbara Jain tradition, gotra usually refers to community/family lineage names used among Jain families. A few commonly found Śvetāmbara Jain gotra or surname-lineage names include:

• Shah
• Mehta
• Doshi
• Sanghvi
• Gandhi
• Dalal
• Parikh
• Zaveri
• Jhaveri
• Kothari
• Sheth
• Vora / Vohra
• Modi
• Kapadia
• Munim
• Vakil
• Chokshi
• Chhajed
• Ranka
• Bafna
• Oswal
• Porwal
• Shrimali
• Humad
• Palliwal
• Khandelwal

Important Note

These names are not all “gotra” in the strict scriptural sense. Many are:

• Surnames
• Community names
• Regional Jain caste names
• Occupational family names
• Lineage identifiers

Among Śvetāmbara Jains, gotra usage varies by region, especially among Gujarati, Rajasthani, Kutchi, Marwari, and other Jain communities.

Takeaway

There is no single universally accepted complete list of “Śvetāmbara Jain gotras” for all communities. The exact gotra often depends on the family’s regional tradition, caste-community, and ancestral records.
