The Johiyas are a social group native to the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent. They have been classified as Rajputs. History Alexander Cunningham derived the term "Johiya" from "Yaudheya", and theorized that the modern Johiyas were representatives of the ancient Yaudheyas. A.B.L. Awasthi, however, connected modern Rajputs to Yaudheyas instead; historian R. C. Majumdar finds Awasthi's identification more probable. Yet another theory connects the Admera sub-group of the Johiyas to the ancient Audumbaras.
