The '''Bhati''' is a surname as well as the name of a historically prominent [[Rajput]] clan of [[Rajput|Yaduvanshi]] ([[Lunar dynasty|Chandravanshi]]) lineage, associated with a ruling dynasty centered in [[Jaisalmer]] in present-day Rajasthan.<ref>{{cite book |last=Kothiyal |first=Tanuja |title=Nomadic Narratives: A History of Mobility and Identity in the Great Indian Desert |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2016 |pages=52–55 |isbn=9781107080317}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Singh |first=Kumar Suresh |title=People of India: Rajasthan |publisher=Oxford University Press |year=1998}}</ref><br />
<br />
Historical scholarship describes the Bhatis as part of the Yaduvanshi Rajput tradition, tracing descent from the Yadu lineage associated with Krishna and forming one of the notable ruling lineages of the Thar desert region.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Kothiyal |first=Tanuja |title=Nomadic Narratives and the Yaduvanshi Rajputs |journal=Indian Economic and Social History Review |volume=53 |issue=3 |pages=445–474 |year=2016 |doi=10.1177/0019464616649567 |jstor=44545174}}</ref><br />
<br />
Scholarly works on Rajput history group the Bhati clan with other Yaduvanshi Rajput lineages such as the [[Jadeja]] and [[Chudasama]] clans.<ref>{{cite book |last=Asopa |first=R. C. |title=Origin of the Rajputs |publisher=Indological Book House |year=1976 |pages=145–150}}</ref><br />
