Vaid is a Surname (family name) that belongs to the Mohyal community. Mohyal Brahmins are Punjabi saraswat Brahmins who originally belonged to the Ghandhara region which is now known as Pakistan and Afghanistan. The Vaid clan traces their heritage to the Vedic figure Dhanvantri.[1] Mohyal 'Warrior' Brahmins are distinct from usual Brahmins as they kept themselves away from priestly activities, practices like untouchability and didn't believe in other similar taboos. Like many Hindu Punjabis, the Moyhal clan fought to create the Sikh ethos [2][3] and have been patrons of that community.[1] Notable Mohyal warriors include Bhai Mati Das and Bhai Sati Das were close friends and disciples of Guru Tegh Bahadur, who then died alongside him at the hands of an Islamic ruler.[1] The Gurus were very close to the Mohyals, resulting in Bhai Chaupa Chhiber becoming the care-taker and tutor of Guru Gobind Singh.[4] The Mohyal clan includes other House Names like Bali, Chibber, Lau, Datt, Mohan and Bhimwal.
The gotra (or clan) of Vaids is Dhanvantari. Vaids also use Bakshi, Mehta or Raizada as courtesy title.
