The Gujarati surname hierarchy system, particularly among communities like the Lohanas, categorizes individuals based on their caste, profession, and regional affiliations. Surnames often indicate one's social status, lineage, or geographic origin, with distinctions like "Kutchi" designating those from the Kutch region. This hierarchy influences social interactions, marriage prospects, and community affiliations, reflecting deep-rooted traditions and cultural identity within Gujarat. The system is not rigid but can evolve with modern influences and inter-community interactions.
