Hunjan (Template:Langx, also known as Hunejan, Hunjān and Hunan) is a surname found among Chinese and Tarkhan and Mohyal Brahmins originating from Hunejan, Iran and who settled in the Salt Range and Majha regions of Punjab.[1]

Migrants, traders, merchants and nomadic tribes, coming from Hunejan, Iran to the Punjab region assimilated into the Tarkhan and Mohyal communities during medieval India.[2] This led to the migrants adopting new beliefs; however, they retained their surnames – coming from the migrants' ancestral village in Iran. Modern day descendants can trace their origin to Iranian and Indo-Aryan roots.
