Sasan (name)

Most non Persian Sasan people notably sikhs and muslims who reside in North India and Pakistan, are a part of Maan Jatt clan and therefore many of them identify themselves as Maans or Manns. Apart from this a few Sasans also have ancestors from Gill and Warraich Jatt clans.

Sasan is a given name and surname.

The surname whose origin comes from Persia(modern day Iran), has some name bearers in the south east asian sub continent too, mainly concentrated in Northern India and Pakistan. People bearing this name, as a last name have ancestors from around 1000 AD, from Sikh and Muslim Jat clans, predominantly from the "Maan" clan, and also from, " Gill " and " Warraich " clans. Therefore, often sharing the same family tree, heritage, Jat roots and ancestors.

Many people who use "Maan", " Gill " and " Waraich " as their last names have Sasanian roots as well as Jat heritage. It is safe to say that many Muslim and Sikh people have these 3, Jatt Sikh and Jutt Muslim last names due to cultural and blood ties with the original Jat clans.

Also noteworthy, that the Sasan people were originally hunters and were known for their superior hunting skills.
