Jamwal is a toponymic surname for a Dogra Rajput clan of the same name from Jammu, in Jammu and Kashmir, India. They claim descent from the traditional founder of Jammu, Jambu Lochan , and there at one time some of their members were rulers of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir , often referred to as the Dogra dynasty .
Pakhrals also known as Minhas and Jamwal, in different regions were founders of the city and the state of Jammu and its governors from ancient times. Their ancestors were Rajput warrior clans who later accepted Islam after the Muslim influence in the Indian Region and moved from Rajasthan (India) to Kashmir and Pakistan.
Genealogies of the Rajput clans were fabricated by pastoral nomadic tribes when they became sedentary. In a process called Rajputization, after acquiring political power, they employed bards to fabricate these lineages which also disassociated them from their original ancestry of cattle-herding or cattle-rustling communities and acquired the name 'Rajput'.
Dogra Rajputs of the Jamwal clan ruled Jammu from the 19th century, when Gulab Singh was made a hereditary Raja of Jammu by Ranjit Singh, while his brother Dhian Singh was the Sikh Empire's prime minister of Punjab, until September 1843.
