Tiwana or Tawana is a widespread Punjabi tribe that claims both Jat[1][2] and Rajput affiliation.

Some Tiwana claim to be descended from Jagadev Parmar through his direct descendant Rai Shankar's son Teo. The lore further states that Teos descendants founded the village of Mataur in what is now Jind district and from there they spread through the rest of Punjab.[3]
