Chadha
Chadha (also spelled as Chaddha and Chadda) is a surname that is used by Punjabi Khatri caste.[1]
According to a traditional account, the forefathers of Chadha Khatris fought with Babur in a battle. However, all of them died except for one person who hid behind an aak bush. This person continued the progeny of the Chadha clan. To pay tribute to the aak bush which saved the Chadha clan from extinction, the Chadhas visit Eminabad in Gujranwala district to perform prayers and worship the Aak tree as a former tradition.[1]
