FARTYAL Fartyal is a surname found among the Kumaoni Rajput community of Uttarakhand[1], India[2]. Its history is intertwined with the socio-political landscape of the Kumaon region, particularly during the[3] rule of the Chand dynasty.
Location
[edit]Fartyals are generally found in Champawat.Champawat is located in the eastern kumaon division at state of uttarakhand .
Origins and Etymology
[edit]The etymology[4] of the surname "Fartyal" is linked to the historical[5] divisions within the Kumaon region[6] during the Chand rule ( 1450–1791). The area [7]around Champawat, an early capital of the Chand kings in Kali Kumaon(present-day Champawat district), was reportedly divided into two factions: Malla Dhada (upper faction) and Talla Dhada (lower faction). The leaders of these factions held significant influence in the kingdom's politics. The Talla Dhada was principally led by individuals[8] bearing the surname Fartyal. Thus,[9]the name likely originated [10]as an identifier for those belonging to or associated with this influential "lower faction" (Talla-wal), eventually evolving into the distinct [11]surname Fartyal.
Historical Significance
[edit]During[12] the Chand dynasty's[13] reign, the Fartyals, as leaders of the Talla Dhada, held considerable power and played a crucial role in the kingdom's administration and military[14]. They often served as ministers (mantri) and commanders (senapati), wielding significant influence alongside the leaders of the Malla Dhada (primarily the Mahara clan). Historical [15]accounts suggest a dynamic, sometimes competitive, relationship between these two [16]powerful Rajput clans, with the kingdom's politics[17] often shaped by their interactions. The Fartyals were historically concentrated [18]in the Dungri area of Kali[19] Kumaon.
Social Status
[edit]As Kumaoni Rajputs, the Fartyals traditionally held a Kshatriya (warrior) status [20]within the Hindusocial hierarchy of the[21] region. They were landowners and formed a significant part of [22]the ruling and administrative elite during the pre-Gorkha period. Their lineage is traced back to the Rajput migrations[23] and settlements in the Kumaon hills over [24]centuries.
Distribution
[edit]The Fartyal surname is primarily found in the Kumaon division of Uttarakhand, with a historical concentration [25]in the Champawat district, particularly the Kali Kumaon region. Over time, with migration for education, employment, and other [26]opportunities, individuals with the Fartyal surname[27] can now be found in other parts of India as well.
