Kher or Khar is a Kashmiri Pandit clan or surname,[1][2] native to the Kashmir Valley in Jammu and Kashmir, India.
Usage
Kher/Khar as a last name is used by Kashmiri Brahmins.[3][2]
Multiple Kashmiri surnames have been attached to a Kashmiri person because of the appearance of any of their ancestors in past with any animal or a bird, which later became the family's surname.[3][4][5] Khar means donkey in the Kashmiri language.[3][4][5] Hence it is safe to conclude that Khar or Kher as a last name used by a Kashmiri means that the physical appearance of one of their ancestors resembled that of a donkey.[3][4][5]
