Nema surname - Usage and Origin

Community commonly use Nema as a surname or second name. Some families of Nema community also uses other surnames based on their titles or regions.

A large part of the community uses the surname Neema around the Indore region, they identify themselves as the Bisa group of Nema community.

As per commonly believed myth among the community, Nema surname comes from their ancestor, King Nimi, Nimi is considered to be the first king of the Videha kingdom and belonged to the Janaka lineage of Mithila. Nimi was the grandson of Manu and son of Ikshwaku.

It is because of this lineage Nemas in the past were believed to be Rajputs, though converted to traders of Vaishya (Bania) community to avoid war with Lord Parsuram thousands of years ago.

Word Nema more accurately means "one who lives in accordance with Niyama" (codes of conducts), these codes were prescribed by the sage Bhrigu, though these codes are only available in the form of verbal legends.

History

Recorded history cite big presence was first observed in Sagor, Damoh, Narsinghpur and Seoni Districts of the state of Madhya Pradesh in India in the early 20th century. At that time Nemas were largely concentrated in Central India.
They started getting identified as Bundelkhandi after settling in the region by the same name but had also acclimatized themselves to Malwa region.

This resulted in Nemas splitting into two distinct groups based on their occupational settlement in Bundelkhand and Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh.

Today elders of community track their history back to region around the border of Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in India. It is believed that somewhere in the 18th and 19th century community got split due to occupational needs and current Nemas migrated to Madhya Pradesh while another group migrated to Gujarat. Today legends can trace verbal history to Rajasthan in places like Banswada; also mentioned in some books published by the community.
