Lochav (लोचव] Lohchab (लोचब) Lohchap (लोहचप) Lohchav (लोहचव) Lochhav (लोछव) Lohach (लोहच) or Arh is gotra of Jatts. They were called Lohchav as Panwars had inhabited this area in Rohtak.[1] They are found in Punjab Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi. The King Arh was in fourth generation of Ardas and is mentioned in many stories of Puranas. He was a brave Warrior. According to Todd's Rajasthan the origin of the Arh dynasty cannot be traced out, but a few gotras of this dynasty are found among the Jatts. The Gotra is basically originated from Panwar but there is a story for that. In the Mughal empire many of the Panwar Jats did not bow to the Shenshaw(King) and could not be conquered. They were entitled Lohmarod(they can even bend an iron rod). Later many of these brave people were entitled as Lohchab(they can even chew iron)
