For the town in Nepal, see Dhital, Nepal.

Dhital is a Nepalese surname. This name might have come from a combination of the words "Dhee" (excellent) and "Tal" (rhythm), meaning "a person with excellent rhythm". Dhitals were originally from Jumla, a far northwestern district of Nepal, but they are now scattered all over the country, including in Lamjung, Gorkha, Dang, Kathmandu, Nuwakot, Kavrepalanchok, Sindhupalchowk and Rupandehi.

The Dhital's gotra (lineage) is from Kaushik, also known as Viswamitra, a legendary sage of ancient India.
