Research summary
HamroBansa records Sharma 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.
Krämer's 2017 table places Sharma in three separate rows: Bahun, Newar-Brahman and Tarai-Brahman. This is evidence that the name is cataloged in several community contexts, not a single caste or family line. None of these Sharma rows supplies a gotra, clan, locality or family relationship. The table also does not indicate how common the name is in any group.
The previous directory import showed Upadhyaya and Rajopadhyaya Devabhaju Brahman as lineage details here. They are not specified in the cited Sharma rows, so this source cannot support them as Sharma-wide facts. If a family uses either designation, it should be documented for that family or branch. The three community labels remain separate research leads, not a way to infer an individual's identity.
These links share a reviewed gotra connection or a recorded community classification with Sharma. 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.
