R. Jawhrani : Can you shed some more light on the Jetley family?

**Dr. Jetley : **All the Sindhi family names usually end with ‘ani’ suffix which has been adopted from the Sanskrit language meaning children or descendents or ‘related to’. For example Jawhrani means children of Jawharmal, Advani means Adomal’s children, Jethmalani means children of Jethamal, Gidwani means Gidumal’s children, Kripalani means Kripaldas’ children and so on. In short, the family name was derived from our ancestors’ name about 5 to 6 generations ago. Marriages are usually not solemnised amongst couples having the same family name, as it would tantamount to a marriage between siblings of the same family.
