History

Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria)[1] writes that In the Persian and Arabic speaking countries this name is spoken with soft 't' irrespective of the occupation it suggests, but with a difference in its spellings[2], In the Arabic language it is written as Zut or Zutti[3] or as Az-Zut[4] and also as Zot or Zott[5], but in Persian and Turkish as Jat[6].

Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria)[7] writes that The variants beginning with /Z/ were in use in ,ancient period and gained popularity in the Middle East at the hands of the early medieval Muslim geographers like Istakhri, Ibn Hawkal and Mukkaddasi[8], Some writers[9] believe that Az-Zut[10] as an alternative, exhibits the Middle Eastern influence on this ancient Indian name[11].

Hukum Singh Panwar (Pauria)[12] writes - It is significant that Djat and Zutt were written as one compound word, "Djat-Zut" to represent them as one and the same people. We are informed that a Djat-Zutt physician, who was well-versed in witch-craft, treated Hazarat Mohammad's wife, Aisha, when she fell seriously ill[13].


In his etymological discussion the learned author has pointed out that the word Zutt or Zutti used in the Arabic Sources is an arabicised form of Jat as explained in several Arabic and Persian dictionaries including Lisan –al-Arab of lbn Manzur, the most famous and voluminous Arabic lexicon [14] Quoting the same work, he states that Zut are people of race from Sind who are of black colour. [15]This is arabicised from the Indian (Hindi) word Jat and its singular is Zutti. He has also given opinion of some other lexicographers who thinks that this is the Arabic form of the Indian word Chat. [16]
