History

भलेराम बेनीवाल [1] के अनुसार शेरखां खेड़ी - जिला कैथल में मौण गोत्र के जाट आबाद हैं. मौण गोत्र पंवार की एक उप-शाखा है. काफ़ी समय पहले इस गांव की मौणी देवी सत्ती हो गयी थी. इस कारण यहां के लोगों ने अपने आप को मौण लिखना शुरु कर दिया. इनका मूल गोत्र पंवार है.

The Vayu Purana mentions them as Maunika or Mauna.

According to Bhim Singh Dahiya they are the same as the English/German, Maan. Their coins have been found in Goa/Konkan areas. Perhaps, They are the Mannai in the west of Caspian sea, who in the eighth century B.C. had their Kingdom , called Mannai, now Armenia (Ari-Man) . They were under the over lordship of Tiglath Pileser IV and it was on their seat that Deioces Manda founded his empire. [2]
