Sometimes the name given by parents is also mentioned alongwith the changed name. On a colophon of V. E. 1328 (1271 A. D) of a Manuscript we are told that Viramati wife of Biramdev origi. nally bore the name Mohli, a name given by her parents.
Use of the suffix "Singh” with the names of some Jain Shresthis is also found. Generally such nomenclature was current only among Rajputs. But from the 13th century A. D. onwards, we find some Jain families also using this suffix with their names. Several such inscriptions can be quoted where the names of parents do not have the suffix Singh but their descendants later on, used it. For
