Parmar
Parmar is a Jat and Rajput clan found in Northern India, especially in Rajasthan, Kutch and Sindh. The surname is also used by a small number of certain Gurjar tribes. There are multiple variants of the name, including Pramar, Panwar, Pawar, Powar, Puwar, Punwar and Puar.
The Soomra dynasty of medieval India was ruled by Parmar Rajputs known as the Soomro caste. The name of the dynasty derives from Soomro and Vegho, two Parmar Rajput Hindu brothers who were appointed to rule the region; while Vegho remained Hindu, Soomro converted to Islam.
