Research summary
HamroBansa records Mishra as a Nepali last name. The links below bring together reviewed community classifications, gotra traditions, place associations and public family histories without treating a shared surname as proof that two people are related.
Karl-Heinz Krämer's surname table, dated 10 January 2017, lists Mishra under Tarai-Brahman and separately under Bahun. Only the Bahun row names Atreya and notes Purbiya and Kumai. A third row spells the name Misra and classifies it Bahun, but gives no gotra. The table does not say that every Mishra or Misra family uses Atreya, or that the two spellings identify the same branch.
An earlier import attached Newar-Brahman and Tirhute Brahman labels to this page. Those labels do not appear in the three Mishra/Misra rows of the cited table, so they have been removed from this source-based summary. The source also gives no district or household genealogy. A person's community or lineage needs branch-specific evidence rather than a surname lookup.
These links share a reviewed gotra connection or a recorded community classification with Mishra. They are research leads, not evidence that families are related.
A shared last name does not establish a relationship between families. Compare names, dates, places and original records before drawing conclusions. Our editorial standards explain how catalog links and citations are assessed.
A surname alone cannot establish a person's ancestry or relationship to another family.
