Everywhere from jatt name list the surname 'Rishi' always remain missing because of its less known identity. This surname comes under the Jatts which are particularly Namdevi Jatts. They are descendants of a Jatt named Rarha Riar Jatt, who was the originally a Riar Jatt and met Bhagat Namdev in his times. He then changed his surname from Riar to Rishi and became a keen follower of Bhagat Namdev. So, Rishi (originally Riar), is the only surname which has a separate distinction in Jatts too as Namdevi Jatt. Historically it is a strong belief that everytime a girl from Namdevi Jatt family gets married to a boy of Jatt family or a girl from Jatt family got married to Namdevi Jatt boy, they bring an exceptional sense of prosperity and integrity in their families. But since, Namdevi Jatt families are rare of the rarest, these families are not known much to normal jatt community and are often confused as Namdev followers only and not jatts.
