History of Marwats and Tor Lohanis. Pashtun Tribes History Blog According to the traditional accounts, the Nuhanis are descended from Isu Khan son of Ismael. He is said to have been commonly known as Nuh or Nuhan , and his descendents came to be known as Nuhani , variously corrupted by Afghans into Luhani, Lohani and Lawani.  Like in case of some other Semitic languages, the "n" in Nuh is sometimes changed for "l" , thus Luh or Luhanri. This last mode of writing the name is comparatively modern. In no historical work, even written in India before the reign of Aurangzeb Alamgir will it be found written otherwise than Nuhani or Nuharni. [1] Thus Pashtun Nuhanis have nothing to do with Lohana or Luvana caste of Hindus found in Gujarat.   Bibi Mato and Shah Hussain The Nuhanis are descended from Bibi Mato, the only daughter of Bait or Baitanay Baba, who devoted himself to a life of religion, attained the odour of sanctity, and hence is known as Shaikh Bait.
