Answer

“Mohikar” is not a commonly recognized Jain surname within widely known Jain community surnames.

However, a surname alone cannot confirm whether a person or family is Jain. Jain identity is usually based on:

• Family religious tradition
• Community background
• Worship practices
• Belief in Jain Dharma
• Connection with Jain temples, sangh, or traditions

Explanation

Many Jain families have surnames that are also found among non-Jain communities, such as Shah, Mehta, Doshi, Gandhi, Jain, Kothari, Sanghvi, etc. Similarly, some less common surnames may belong to Jain families in certain regions, but the surname by itself is not enough proof.

Takeaway

If a family with the surname “Mohikar” follows Jain Dharma, belongs to a Jain sangh, or has Jain family traditions, then they can be Jain. But the surname “Mohikar” alone is not sufficient to identify someone as Jain.
