List of Rajput clans of Uttar Pradesh

This is a list of Rajput clans of Uttar Pradesh. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Even if lineage details are unknown, clan members may be organized around a founding member or apical ancestor. The kinship-based bonds may be symbolic, whereby the clan shares a "stipulated" common ancestor that is a symbol of the clan's unity. When this "ancestor" is non-human, it is referred to as a totem, which is frequently an animal.

Rajput (from Sanskrit raja-putra, "son of a king"[1]) is a member of the patrilineal clans of the Indian subcontinent. They rose to prominence from the late 13th century CE, and, until the 20th century, the Rajput rulers dominated many regions of central and northern India, including the eastern regions of present-day Pakistan.
