version of the Sanskrit
Katyayana
(Katyayan to Katyan to Kadyan). Tradition has it that Rishi Vishvamitra had many sons including two by the names of Kat and Achchil. The descendants of Kat were called Katyayan and over time it got corrupted to Kadyan.
The above stated descent from Rishi Vishvamitra makes Kadian a Suryavanshi clan. This fits in with their place among the Ror, who claim descent from the solar house of Ikshvaku
. This is the same Ikshvaku
whose descendants include the mighty Raghu
and Sri Rama
of Ayodhya. In Arabic, Kadiyan stands for King and it could possibly be a memory from the times of the Akkadian Empire.
