Haajars

Haajars is a surname used by families in several regions, particularly in South Asia and the Middle East. The form Haajjar, Haajar, Hajjar, and related variants are common transliterations. Haajars are usually patronymic or family names derived from the given name Hajar (also rendered Haajar or Hajar), a widely used personal name in Arabic-speaking communities and in adapted forms in South Asia.

Etymology: The name is typically traced to the given name Hajar; spelling variants arise from transliteration from Arabic, Persian, or regional scripts. The -s in Haajars often reflects a plural or familial form in anglicized rendering, indicating “the family of Hajar” or simply the family bearing the name.

Geographic distribution: Today Haajars appear in Pakistan, India, and Gulf states, with diaspora communities in Europe and North America. In South Asia, families with this surname may have historical ties to Muslim clerical or mercantile lineages; in the Arab world, it is seen as a subset of a broader set of Hajjar/Hajar names.

Cultural context: As with many South Asian and Middle Eastern family names, Haajars can indicate lineage, geographic origin, or clan associations; naming practices vary by country, community, and migration history. The surname is used by individuals across religious and social backgrounds in the regions where it is found.
