The story of the Dattani surname
Dattani has the shape of a Lohana patronymic: an ancestor name such as Datta or Dattu plus -ani, the familiar descent suffix used across many Sindhi and Gujarati/Kutchi Lohana names. Public surname references usually place Dattani in the Gujarati/Lohana world, while Lohana lists also show the wider Sindhi-Kutchi overlap. A Sindhi Dattani branch should be confirmed through language and town memory rather than assumed from spelling alone.
