Origin

Dr Mahendra Singh Arya etc consider Thori to be originated from place named Tholia (थोलिया).[1] Looking to the Jat Clan System, clan names based on plants, they get name from a plant Thuar (Hindi) and Thor in Rajasthani. Its scientific name is Euphorbia nerilifolia. We have also English name - Thornton. Thornton originated from English Thornton , means "settlement walled by strong thorn hedges" or "thorny estate dweller". [2]

History

Dr Naval Viyogi has mentioned the history of Aur-Thaur, which was capital of Shor Nagas Sor Jat clan. According to him Cher, Chola and Pandyas have been important indigenous tribes of Ancient India. H.L. Kosare [3] puts forth his opinion on their origin and history. Urgapur was one of the towns of Nagas of southern region. We have enough information on this issue. Ptolemy has informed that the name of the chief city of southern Cholas was Aur-Thaur. Aur-Thaur was capital of Shor Nagas and it was under Shoartai [4]. The word Shor is synonymous of Sor or Chol of Tamil language. It is quite clear from the name of Shor nagas that Aur-Thaur was the capital of the naga kings; whosoever, he was called Shor (Chola) because he was the ruler of Shor-Tai.[5][6]

Bhim Singh Dahiya mentions about a Rigvedic tribe - Tura : (RV 1/18/2, VI/25/5, VIII/3/13, VII/41/2, V/4/5. VI/48/12 VII/40/1, l/171/1, VII/40/l etc.). Turvas is also mentioned as a king in RV X/63/10 and VI/20/12 etc. Turan are noted in RV 1/173/1, and ancient King Tura in 1/121/3. They are also mentioned in Sat.Br. IX/5/2,35. Zimmer and McDonnel, took this tribe as one of the five main Aryan tribes. They are justified also because the Avesta mentions these five tribes as Arya, Turya, Dahi, Shor,and Sarmat. Thus Thori is one of these tribes probably derived from Turya. [7]
