==History and origin==
The Ramay/Ramaiya are a community that are partly Sikh, and partly Muslim. They get their name from the Hindi word ''ramna'', which means to wonder. The community acquired this name on account of the fact that they were salesman, and are said to have belonged to the Bhatra community, a well known Sikh caste of Punjab. Like the Bhatra, they are said to be Brahmins, and more precisely Nagar Brahmin. They migrated into Uttar Pradesh in the 17th and 18th Century. The community were originally Sikh, and said to have come from Amritsar. However long residence in Uttar Pradesh has meant that Ramaiya are more properly Nanakshahi, rather than Sikh. A significant number of Ramaiya in the Rohilkhand region have converted to Islam. The Nanakshahi are sub-divided into a number of exogamous clans, known as gotras. There main gotras are the Bamra, Bank, Barsari, Bhat, Bhatti, Bisati, Dargal, Gajra, Gaur, Gujjar, Hardoiri, Nomain, Radi, Rai, Ranipari, Rathore, Sinha and Sipmatua. While the Muslim branch consists of the following divisions, the Banjara, Rajput and Ramai.〔Tribes and castes of Northwestern Provinces and Oudh by William Crooke〕
