जनश्रुति के अनुसार जिस पर्वतांचल में कुचामन बसा है, वहाँ पहले कुचबंधियों की ढाणी थी सम्भवतः उसी के नाम पर यह क़स्बा बसा है. कुचामन और निकटवर्ती क्षेत्र पर गौड़ क्षत्रियों का दीर्घकाल तक वर्चस्व रहा, जिसकी पुष्टि कुचामन के पास हिराणी, मीठड़ी, लिचाणा तथा अन्य स्थानों पर गौड़ शासकों के शिलालेखों से होती है. उनकी राजधानी मारोठ थी जो एक प्राचीन नगर है.
