Dr Naval Viyogi in his book "Nagas: the Ancient Rulers of India" [3] has provided a list of some important Gotras of Tak kshatriyas and explained their history. The list includes Mair as well. Hence they are of Nagavanshi origin.

According to H.A. Rose the Manhas origin is claimed by the Muslim Jat clan: Raihsi, Katwar, Lohdra, Mahe, Mair, Nangial and Wirk.[4]

Jo (जो) is a Jat sept without whose nominal leave the Mair chaudhris of Kot Khilan in Jhelum cannot give a girl in marriage. [5]
