Lone
( Kashmiri: Devanagari: लोन्; Perso-Arabic: لون, 'lōn'; /loːn/), historically known as Lavanya (from Sanskrit लावण्य/lāvaṇya) meaning 'beauty' [1] is a Kashmiri surname found in the Indian administered union territory of Jammu and Kashmir and the Pakistani administered province of Azad Kashmir.
Lones are believed to be the descendants of ancient Lavanya tribe of Kashmir. They were mainly stationed as soldiers in the northern regions of Kashmir in the areas inhabited by Daradas. [2] [3] [4] Another account of the possible back migration of Lones comes from Sir Walter Lawrence according to which the villagers of Kashmir said that Lones had come from Chilas. [5]
"Having found out a vulnerable point of the Darads, he urged on the king to seize the fort called Dugdhaghata along with the Lavanyas of Lahara"
[6] Lahara is identified with the modern
Lar town of Kashmir.
