From Jatland Wiki
Gussar (गुस्सर) Gosal (गोसल) is a gotra of Jats. They are a minor clan now, but inscriptional evidence shows two persons of this clan. One is Maka, son of Saphar, and the second is the Swami Simhabala Gussar of Sanchi Vihara.[1] It is quite possible that Gussur here may stand for the Gujars, as Herodotus says that Gorgoi were the agriculturists of the Scythians. [2]
Distribution in Punjab
Gosal population is 1,680 in Patiala district.[3]
Gosal village
