[edit] Origin

Ahlawat is derived from Illa-Vrta. Illa-Vrta was a province in Jambudvipa, which was situated in Mongolia. Presently it is known as the Altay Mountains that is a degenerated form of Illa-Vrta. Illa-Vrta varsa (Meruvarsa) is the mountainous region around the central point of Meru. The word Illa-Vrta changed to Alawat and finally Ahlawat. [1] bell end

The historian Dalip Singh Ahlawat has indicated the habitations of Ahlawats in Narth-west region of India and as Alans in Central Asia. The Alans or Alani were an Iranian nomadic group. [2]

Ammianus Marcellinus considered the Alans to be the former Massagetae : "iuxtaque Massagetae Halani et Sargetae", "per Albanos et Massagetas, quos Alanos nunc appellamus", "Halanos pervenit, veteres Massagetas".

According to the historian Bhim Singh Dahiya, Ahlawats in Russia are known as Allans. [3]
