Thar (Surname) of the Newars

यमी   सामान्य तया नेवार समुदायमा काठमाडौं बासी नेवारहरूलाई यमी भनिन्छ ।  तर पूर्व राज्य मन्त्री, स्वतन्त्रता सेनानी, समाज सुधारक तथा लेखक धर्म रत्न तुलाधरले  यमी  उपमा प्रयोग गरे, जसका कारण उनका सन्तति (हिसिला यमी)ले पनि यमी थर प्रयोग गरे । तसर्थ यमी तुलाधर को उपथरको रूपमा लिन सकिन्छ। https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuladhar#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20division%20of,between%20Nepal%2C%20India%20and%20Tibet. Yami   Generally, in the Newar community, Newars residing in Kathmandu are called "Yami." But, former State Minister, freedom fighter, social reformer, and writer Dharma Ratna Tuladhar used the surname 'Yami,' which led his descendants (Hisila Yami) to adopt the same surname. Therefore, 'Yami' can be considered a sub-caste of Tuladhar.

तुलाधर तुलाधर संस्कृत शब्द " तुला " (तौलने काँटा) र " धर " (धारण गर्ने) बाट उत्पन्न भएको हो, जसको अर्थ तौलने काँटा बोक्ने अथवा व्यापारी भन्ने बुझाउँछ। तुलाधरहरू उराय समूह भित्र पर्छ। उनीहरू बौद्ध धर्मका अनुयायी हुन्। तुलाधरहरूले नेपाल, तिब्बत र भारतवर्षका विभिन्न देशहरू बीच कपडा, सिक्का तथा धातुका सरसामानहरू साटफेर गरी ऊन, कस्तूरी, छाला र याकको पुच्छरको व्यापार गर्थे। Tulādhar/Yami Tulādhar is derived from the Sanskrit words " tula " (weighing scale) and " dhar " (possessor), thus meaning scale-bearer or in general, merchant. Tuladhars belong to the Uraya group. They follow Buddhism. They are best known for their history as trans-Himalayan traders conducting trade between Nepal, Tibet and Indian princely states . They traded wool, musk, hides, and yak tails by bartering textiles and metal goods.
