Ashaji, Maan and Mann are used both equally among the Jats. It is very ancient clan and as such must have wide spread distribution. Mann surname is found in Germany and other European countries but they dont consider it to be related with Jats. If we go back to find the ancestry may be there can be linkages. Kindly ask Alison Mann if she has got some connections? Mann find origins in Central Asia. It is very likely that some moved to India and others to Europe.
