Some of these names have apparently been borrowed from Rajputs and Marathas, some derived from occupations, some are the names of places and some family titles. It is to be noted that these may be distinct gotras bearing the same surnames, members of one of which may intermarry with members of another: eg:- the common names 'Bhoir', 'Jadhav,' , 'Mukadam' which occur all over the Thane District, are borne by families quite distinct one from another, who do not observe common mourning and may therefore intermarry.
